Application Form Management and Entry Segmentation
Now that we've successfully set up our application form, chosen an evaluation method, and specified criteria for judging, the next step is managing the entries effectively as they come in. One efficient way to do this is by creating shortlists or groups within our entries. Let's explore how to utilize these features seamlessly with Contestiva:
Creating Shortlists
- Understanding Shortlists: Shortlists are a convenient way to group and highlight your strongest entries. You can create only one shortlist, making it easily accessible and manageable.
- Adding Entries to Shortlists: Adding an entry to a shortlist is straightforward. Simply click on the desired entry and toggle the button to include it in the shortlist. This allows you to quickly identify and prioritize your top entries.
- Accessibility of Shortlists: Accessing your shortlisted applications is effortless. Toggle the button to view your shortlist, and toggle it off to return to viewing all applications. Shortlists are a powerful tool for highlighting standout entries.
Utilizing Grouping Function
- Introduction to Groups: Unlike shortlists, you can create multiple groups within your applications. This function is useful when you need to segment entries based on specific criteria, such as industry sector or startup strength.
- Creating Groups: Start by clicking on the "Groups" tab. You can create multiple groups tailored to your needs. For example, you can divide entries based on their success in screening stages or their overall strength.
- Adding Entries to Groups: After creating a group, you can easily add entries to it. Simply click on "Edit Group," select the entries you want to include, and save the changes. Entries can belong to multiple groups, providing flexibility in organization.
