New Features & Improvements
 New features and enhanced functionality that we’ve added to Nucleus.

Viewers
View entry attachments in browser
In the Viewer site, Viewers are now able to open an entry’s PDF attachments in browser as a new tab rather than download each file. The ‘Download’ button will change to ‘View’ . If desired, the Viewer can still download the PDFs in the viewing tab.

This feature needs to be turned on by our developers, so if you would like to use it on your site then please let us know.

Submit scores and reporting
Admin users are now able to require scores and comments to be submitted by viewers for specified awards, meaning that the status of voting progress can be monitored.

To enable this for an award, there is a new option in the Viewing section of an Award’s settings called ‘Require scores & comments to be submitted’. Setting this to Yes will reveal four text areas for messages to display to viewers at the top of their dashboard based on the status of their scoring and comments.

These messages will at the top of the categories the viewer has been assigned.
Once all a viewer’s scoring and comments have been saved, the Submit button will appear with the ‘Please submit scores message’ text.

These messages will at the top of the categories the viewer has been assigned.Admins will be able to monitor the status of scoring of an award by going to the Viewer List and filtering the Award(s) column by the desired award. This will then show two additional columns displaying the Score/comment status and the percentage of completion. Both of these columns can be filtered to show the viewers of a particular status or above/below a certain completion percentage, and then this can be downloaded as a file.

Filter the Viewer List by the required awardSegmented reports can also be downloaded from the Viewer Score Download option the in Misc menu. After selecting an award that requires scores and comments to be submitted, three Score statuses will appear allowing you to pull any combination of In progress, Awaiting submission and Submitted scores and comments.

You can email your viewers depending on their scoring status, enabling you to remind those that have yet to finish or submit their scores. This is added to the Entrant Mailout feature, when you select Viewers as the type of user to email.

Categories & Eligibility

Category Internal Names
Categories now have an additional field for internal names, like Awards, giving you the option to label categories internally for your administrative purposes.

Category Eligibility rules moved to the Categories page
To make navigation easier, we have moved the category eligibility rules into the Category list page so that everything is in one place.

Entry Management

Restore Deleted Entries
Deleted entries can be searched for using the Jump functionality, when a deleted entry is found there is a clear message stating that it was deleted, by whom and when. It also allows the admin to restore the entry is necessary.

Entrant’s phone in entry summary
An entrant’s primary telephone number is now included in the award summary at the top of an entry’s form.

Attachment Download

Admins can now download files from specified questions from a given award. This is found in the ‘Entry Attachments Download’ function in the Misc section.

This saves you time as it allows you to only pull the files uploaded for one question rather than every file uploaded to all the upload questions for every entry.

System Navigation

New Awards automatically assigned
When you create a new Award, it is now automatically assigned to your admin user.

Keyboard shortcuts
We’ve added keyboard shortcuts to Nucleus to help your improve your workflow.

On any page in the admin area:Alt + E => Entry list pageAlt + A => Award list pageAlt + C => Category list pageAlt + V => Video list pageAlt + I => Invoice list pageAlt + Q => Question list pageAlt + O => Organisation list pageAlt + U => User list pageOn any editing page:Ctrl+S on Save (and stay on this page)Alt+S for Save and closeEsc for ‘Back’Editing pages will now bring up an ‘Are You Sure?’ prompt if you try to leave without saving a change you have made. This will happen whether you use the mouse to click out or use the Escape key.

Users
Video download and sharing options
When a user is creating a new video record, the ‘Allow download’ and ‘Allow sharing’ options now default to ‘Please Select…’ and are a mandatory fields. There is a new helper text under the ‘Allow download’ option that can be controlled from the CMS to inform users what the option means.

This means that user will be more informed about what these options mean and actively make a decision about how they want their videos to be handled.

Note: This is only for Video Management enabled sites

Approval and Payment Status filter for users
Now on the entrant dashboard, users will have the ability to filter their entries by Approval Status and/or Payments Status, along with any other filters such as Category. Thus making reviewing their entries more efficient.
