Contest Vault Dashboard — Needs Attention Within Private Contest

When an entrant reports a payment issue (such as a direct payment made outside the platform), it appears in a Needs Attention banner at the top of the Contest Vault dashboard, above the summary cards.

Each alert includes:

  • The entrant's username and full name

  • A brief description of the issue (e.g., "reported direct payment to the commissioner")

  • A timestamp of when it was reported (e.g., "33 mins ago")

  • The amount owed by that entrant

Commissioners can take one of two actions directly from the banner:

  • Dismiss — clears the alert without further action

  • Submit payment — confirms the reported payment on the entrant's behalf

If there are multiple alerts, a counter (e.g., "1 of 8") and arrow navigation let commissioners page through them one at a time.

Entrants Table — Per-Entrant Actions

The entrants table also supports quick actions per row via the kebab menu (three-dot icon). Clicking it opens a small dropdown with two options:

  • Refund — issues a refund to that entrant

  • Submit payment — manually marks that entrant's payment as received

The table can also be sorted — in this view, it's sorted by Owed (descending), so entrants who owe the most appear first, with their owed amount highlighted in red for visibility.
