How to Enable Tagging for Entrants

This entrant-facing feature allows Entrants to create a range of tags which they can then associate with their Entries. Tags can be defined by Entrants and used for any purpose they wish. For example:

  • Tagging an Entry where a synopsis or other entry data is missing
  • Tagging Entries that require sign-off before submission
  • Flagging action points

Currently, in order for an Entrant to see what data is missing from an Entry before they can submit, they need to edit and view the Entry. This is fine if the Entrant is managing a handful of entries, but if the Entrant is managing many, it can become a complex task. This UI is designed to assist Entrants in managing more of their processes within Nucleus so that they do not need to use an alternative mechanism, such as Excel, to manage their processes.

How to Enable Entry Tagging

For admins, the only action is to enable the Tagging Feature, which can be enabled on a per Award basis:

  1. Log into the Admin Interface.
  2. Go to Actions > Awards.
  3. Select Edit for the relevant award.
  4. Locate Allow entrant tags in the Options Section.
  5. Set the answer to Yes.
  6. Click Save.

This will allow entrants to create tags on the Entrant Interface.

How Entrants Can Create and Manage Tags

Once enabled, Entrants will see a new section in the Hamburger Menu called Manage Tags. Clicking on this link will take Entrants to a page where they can create, edit, and delete tags.

To create a new tag, they click on the Create new tag button. They will be prompted to add a tag name and select one of multiple predefined colours.

Once a tag has been created, it can be linked to an Entry on the Dashboard. In the actions menu for each Entry, there is a Manage Tags option which allows Entrants to link or remove tags for the Entry. Tags can also be added or removed from the Entry on the Entry Form. The application of tags has no bearing on the Entry status and will not affect submission. Tags are for the ntrant’s reference only and will not appear on Admin Screens.
