Admin - How do I manually add a submission for an applicant?

For admins who need to enter an application for someone, such as a paper or emailed entry, using the Add Submission button.

Admins can add a submission for an applicant from the Manage Submissions page: go to Data Management › Submissions, click Add Submission, and fill out the form the same way your submitters would. Add Submission creates one submission at a time. Admins can't import submissions from a spreadsheet; to import many at once, contact the Reviewr team.

This applies to event admins. Submitters start their own submissions from the Submitter Portal.

Before you start

  • Have the applicant's details ready, including first name, last name and email.

  • If you only want to try the form yourself, create a test submission instead: see Admin - Creating a Test Submission.

Steps

  1. In your Reviewr admin account, hover over Data Management (the clipboard icon) and select Submissions.

  2. On the Manage Submissions page, click Add Submission.

  3. Fill out each page of the submission form, following the same steps your submitters follow.

  4. Save your progress to finish later, or click Submit to submit the form. The new submission appears in the Manage Submissions list. A confirmation email is sent only if the submission confirmation email notification is turned on, the submitter's email is captured, and you click Submit.

Important: A submission you add this way has no submitter. Reviewr doesn't create a submitter account for the applicant or send them a confirmation email. To link the applicant to it, create them as a submitter user in Manage Users, then add them on the submission's Submitters tab. If the applicant already has a Reviewr account, you can instead log in as that submitter and complete the form for them.

If that didn't work

I can't add a recommender when I add a submission manually

In the Add Submission form, the recommender step sends the supplemental form to a recommender, so you can't type the recommender's letter in directly. Enter the recommender's name in the form question that's linked to the supplemental form, and they'll receive it. If you need to, you can also open the submission, go to the Supplemental Forms tab, choose Add New, and enter the recommender's first name, last name and email.

There's no place to upload a CSV when I click Add Submission

Add Submission only creates one submission by hand. Admins can't import submissions from a CSV file. To import several submissions at once, contact the Reviewr team and they'll import them for you.

The applicant submitted to the wrong event

Reviewr can't move or transfer a submission from one event to another. The applicant needs to submit again in the correct event.
