How to Show or Hide Entries on the Viewing Interface Without Changing Their Approval Status

Nucleus provides an easy mechanism to remove or return Entries to the Viewing Interface at an entry level. When an Entry is set to Approved by Admin Users, all Categories are available on the Viewing Interface and all Judges who have the correct credentials can see the Entries. Unapproving the Entries will remove them from the Viewing Interface. There are occasions when Admin Users do not wish to remove the whole Entry or change the Entry Status.

This feature was designed to improve the process of moving to a second stage of voting where Admins need to remove unsuccessful Entries from unsuccessful Categories while remaining in others. The feature can also be used as part of the Entry process where an Entry is ready for approval in a number of categories but there is a question about one item, which can be hidden, allowing the rest of the Entry to be approved. The show/hide functionality is non-disruptive, meaning that no emails will be triggered and the Entry Status will not be affected.

The show/hide functionality is set a Nomination level, meaning the particular part of the entry that is being judged. All Nominations are set by default to Show meaning when an Entry is approved all Nominations will automatically appear on the Viewing Interface. Admins can choose to Hide the nominations at any time, or Show a hidden Nomination. As soon as a Nomination is set to Hide it will no longer appear on the Viewing Interface.

Nominations can be set to Show or Hide individually or using the batch functionality on the Nominations table.

Note – that all other Entry Publishing Rules must be met for an Entry to appear on the Viewing Interface. For example, Entries must be approved and payment restrictions set.
