Setting Viewing guidelines and requirements

It is important to ensure that your Viewers/Judges are clear on what is expected of them and that they carry out their duties consistently and fairly.

Therefore, the Viewing Portal Intro sections on each Category set up page gives you the ability to communicate this information in as much detail as you require.

There are two distinct fields for this:

  1. Viewing Portal Intro (Full) – This appears at the top of the Viewing pane for each Category that your Viewers/Judges are viewing. This is an unlimited space that will expand to accommodate as much information as you require. Information that you might include here: clarification of what they are viewing and how they should evaluate them, explanation of your scoring scales, terms and conditions, deadlines for submitting their scores, a reminder to Submit their scores when finished, links to any further external information they may need. Because this section will expand as much as you require, the Viewer will not be able to see the entries until they have read all of it. They can refer back to this intro at any time during the viewing by scrolling back up to the top of the page.
  2. Viewing Portal Intro (Floated Summary) – This appears at the top of the Viewing pane for each Category, and tracks down (or ‘floats’ down) the page as the Viewer scrolls through the entries. Because of this, the content you input here should be kept to the bare minimum – or none at all – as it will otherwise impinge upon the Viewing pane where they view the actual entries if it is too long. Information that you might include here should be kept to the absolute essential, must-see info that the Viewer should be aware of at all times such as the deadline for submitting their scores. Limit it to 1-2 lines max.

To edit each of the above:

  1. Go to Actions > Categories.
  2. The Category List opens. Alongside each Category, click on the Edit link.
  3. The Category Edit page opens. Scroll down to the Viewing Portal section and edit each of the above as you require.
  4. Click Save and Close.
