By default, tags are only visible to users with manager-type roles as tags can contain sensitive information or indicate winners before announcements. If you want judges to identify tagged entries or draw attention to specific submissions, you can use one of the options below.
Option 1: use badges
Badges are the simplest way for judges to see tag information. Badges display next to the entry name in judging views.
To create a badge:
- In the Manage workspace, go to Judging > Settings > Awards
- Select New award
- Enter a title
- Under 'Type', select Badge
- Select the tag to associate with the badge
- Under 'Visibility', select Score set views
- Choose whether the badge appears in all score sets or selected ones
- Enter badge text
- Choose a badge colour
- Select Save
The badge will appear in the judge’s judging view next to the entry name.
Option 2: enable tag permissions for judges
You can allow judges to view tags directly instead of using badges. This requires changing role permissions.
To update judge permissions:
- In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Users > Roles
- Select the judge role
- Select Advanced
- Set Chapters Create and View to Allow
- Set Entries (others) View to Allow
- Set Scores (others) View to Allow
- Set Tags View to Allow
- Select Save
Good to know
- Tags are normally visible only to manager roles.
- Badges are visible in judging views without changing judge permissions.
- If the entry name is hidden in a VIP score set, badges will not display.
- Allowing tag visibility gives judges access to parts of the Manage workspace.
- Judges with tag access can see all entries and assignments.
- To allow judges to add tags, enable Create and Edit permissions for tags.
- You can create a separate role for tag visibility instead of changing the judge role.
