Awards Overview

The Awards module allows you to manage basic award information including award details, judges assignments, and award entries.

The Awards Overview page is a good launching point to access most awards module features.

Before attempting to enter any awards information, set up drop-down lists for award types, award categories, award entry status, and award judge specialty. Once this information has been entered, you may add awards. From the Awards Profile, you can award judges, award entries, and award notes.

Note that, on the Awards Overview page, the links in the Managing Your Awards Information section give you the ability to add an award, add an award entry, add a judge, search for an award, search for a judge, or search for an award entry. On the group items bar, the Awards link lets you search for an Award Profile. The Award Entry link lets you search for an Award Entry Profile. The Award Judges link lets you search for an Award Judge.
