How to Provide a Customised Document for Entrants to Download
Admins can upload a document in the admin interface which can then be downloaded by entrants on a per-entry basis. The functionality has a variety of use cases, but can be a useful tool to provide a digital certificate that is generated outside of Nucleus. Certificates can be generated in Nucleus, but if the certificate needs to be signed by a third party, for example, this functionality allows this. It can also be used as a method to distribute documentation to entrants that is saved against their entry and then accessed at a future date.
The document is available to entrants on their Dashboard in the ‘Submitted’ entries tab in the entry actions menu.
