Moderation versus tagging

Rachel Martin
Updated

Moderation and tagging are both powerful tools for managing and organising your entries.

Moderation

Moderation is used to screen entries prior to judging. You may want to check your entries for quality, completion, or eligibly before they are sent for judging.

An easy way to do this is from the Manage workspace in the Entries view. Mark an entry with Approve or Reject to send or stop it from going for judging. 

Read more about moderation in our dedicated guide: Moderation.

Tagging

Tagging can be used at any time during the program cycle. There are many use cases for tags:

  • Tags can be used to group entries for judging (i.e. finalists, winners, manager's choice). They are necessary to move entries from one judging stage to another.
  • Tags can be used to communicate with entrants (i.e. payment not made, need attachment,  follow up, send discount code)
  • Tags can be used for internal record purpose (i.e. referral, free entry, vendor, previous participant)

An entry can have any number of tags. 

Read more about tagging here: Ultimate guide to tags.

Note: moderation and tagging are for program managers only by default. Judges may also tag entries if permissions have been updated to allow it. For more information on role permissions see: Ultimate guide to user roles.
