How to Enable Entrants to set Viewability Windows for their Videos
With respects to embargoed release dates, this function empowers Entrants to set specific date windows within which a video can be viewed on the Viewing site. Admins can decide on a per-award basis whether they want to activate this feature.
How to Enable Videos to be Date Restricted on the Viewing Site
Please follow these instructions:
- Go to Actions > Awards
- Find the Award on the Awards List
- Click on Actions>Edit in the right hand column
- Scroll down to the Viewing section
- To the option Allow videos to be date restricted on the viewing site select ‘Yes‘
As an Admin, you have the power to override these dates by adjusting them on the Entry List. This is also a useful way for you to ensure that a video is unpublished at a particular date and time if the Entrant does not select any dates themselves (for example, you can do this to prevent videos being viewed after the Viewing deadline has passed).
