To create a seamless experience for your submitters, you'll need to understand how to customize different sections of your Photo Ballot Submission Form. Here's a guide to walk you through each section and its functionality:
1. Submission Card
The Submission Card is where you define the basic information that will appear on the Photo Ballot submission page. It consists of three main elements:
Submission Title: This is the title that will appear at the top of the submission form.
Submission Description: Provide a brief description or instructions to guide the submitters.
Submission Button Text: Customize the text on the button that submitters will click to submit their entry (e.g., “Submit Photo”).
How it appears on the Photo Ballot:
The Submission Title, Description, and Button Text will be visible to the submitters when they access the Photo Ballot page.
2. Additional Form Fields
The Additional Form Fields section allows you to add custom fields to your submission form, enabling you to collect specific data from submitters. After selecting the + Add Field option, you'll have several options for different types of fields. Each additional field also has settings to make it required or hidden:
Required Field: If selected, this option makes the field mandatory, meaning the submitter cannot complete the submission until this field is filled.
Hide Field in Voting and Gallery: If you choose this option, the field will be hidden from the public voting or gallery display but will still collect data for your records.
Available Field Types:
Text Field:
A single-line text box where submitters can type in a brief answer.
How it appears on the Photo Ballot: A simple box for short, single-line text input.
2. Checkbox:
A checkbox where submitters can select one or more options.
How it appears on the Photo Ballot: A list of options with checkboxes next to each.
3. Select Drop Down:
A dropdown menu that allows submitters to select one option from a list.
How it appears on the Photo Ballot: A dropdown menu with a list of options.
4. Text Area:
A multi-line text box for longer responses or detailed comments.
How it appears on the Photo Ballot: A larger text box that allows for extended input.
3. Submission Success
Once the submitter has completed the form, they will be directed to the Submission Success screen. This section allows you to customize the message that will be displayed to users after they submit their photo.
Custom Message: You can write a personalized “thank you” message or provide any additional information you want to share with the submitter (e.g., next steps, confirmation, etc.).
Example: "Thank you for your submission! We appreciate your entry and will notify you about the results soon."
