Tag entries

In Award Force, you can create and apply tags to entries. Tagging allows you to add additional information to assist managing entries, particularly through judging panel configuration. Tagging is often used in programs that have multiple stages of judging (e.g. qualifying, shortlisting, finalist, and winner selection).

   Tip: tags can consist of single or multiple words.

4. Hit the Return or Enter key on your keyboard to apply the tag

In bulk:

1. From Entries > Manage entries, or on Judging > Leaderboard, select the checkbox to the left of each entry you want to tag
2. Open the Actions drop-down
3. Click Tag
   
   
4. In the tag input field that appears, type in anything you want

Panel configuration using tags

When setting up a judging panel, if you have used tags on entries then a list of all available tags will be presented for you to choose from. If you select one or more of the tags listed, only submitted entries with those tags applied will show to judges on this panel. For full details, see: Create a judging panel.
