How to Declutter the Entrants’ Dashboards
If you have prolific Entrants who submit multiple Entries to different Awards, over time their Entrant Dashboard will become cluttered with historic Entries. This is not an ideal User Experience, as most times they will just be trying to access their Entries for current, live Awards and not wish to scroll through lots of old Entries to find them.
To promote a decluttered Dashboard for them, there is a setting that enables you to set a maximum timeframe for which Entries will be displayed for on an Entrant’s Dashboard. Beyond this timeframe, Entries will no longer appear on their Dashboard regardless of the status of the Award.
How to Set a Timeframe for Entries to be Displayed on the Entrant Interface
Please do as follow:
- Go to Actions>Awards
- Look for the relevant Award
- Click on Actions>Edit
- To the ‘Show entries for …. months after creation‘ field, enter the number of months required
- Click Save and Close
Note – Our recommendation is to set at least 9 months. Each entry will be removed 9 months after the date it was created. There is no upper limit to how many months you set this to.
