How Do I Manage and Customize Entrant Names in Splash Contests?
Splash provides users with several tools to edit, manage, and customize entrant names in contests while adhering to specific visibility rules and operational permissions. Below is a detailed guide on how you can successfully manage entrant names, along with answers to common questions about permissions and display.
Editing or Changing Your Entry Name
If you need to update your entry name in a contest, follow these steps:
Go to 'My Contest' and select the 'Active' tab.
Select the contest where you want to update your entry.
Locate your entry and click the 3 DOTS next to it.
A popup window will appear, allowing you to edit your entry name > Click RENAME
Once changes are made, click SAVE to finalize the update.
Managing Your First and Last Name in the Entrants List
To adjust the first and last name displayed in the entrant roster:
Navigate to your account Profile.
Update your first and last name within your account settings.
These changes will reflect across the platform, including entrants' lists in contests.
This approach ensures alignment between your profile details and contest entries.
Managing Entrants as a Commissioner
To oversee entrants in a contest as a commissioner, use the Entrants Manager tool:
Go to the Commissioner Tab in your account.
Open the Active Section and select Manage next to your contest.
Enter the Entrants Manager area, where you can: - Review member details - Track entrant performance and activity
This enables you to monitor and manage participants effectively without editing their submitted entry details.
Permissions and Limitations on Entry Name Changes
Commissioners’ Restrictions: Commissioners cannot edit members’ entry names or personal details. This restriction ensures that only individual users can modify their own information.
Account Verification and Name Visibility: Only verified users will have their real names displayed in the Entrants roster. Users without verified accounts will not have names shown in this column.
Hiding Names in Entries: While the platform does not support completely hiding names in contests, users can modify their entry names to generic labels (e.g., "Entry 1"). However, this information is linked to usernames once a contest locks, reflecting entrants' accounts.
Anticipated Platform Features
At present, Splash is developing a feature that will allow participant names and additional information to be visible under entrant entries. Although this feature is in progress and not yet available, it indicates future improvements to name visibility in contests.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t entrant names appear in the Names column of the roster?
Only users with verified accounts have their real names displayed. If an account is not verified, the user's name will not display in the column. By following these detailed steps and understanding the restrictions, you can effectively manage and customize entrant names in your contests.
