Initial Setup

When you initially setup your program, you will be taken to the 'Program Overview' page. We will go into the individual sections under 'Program Settings' further in this walk-through. We will start with the Workflow (orange) section of this page. The 'Configure' link will allow you to manage your rounds.

Rounds are either Submission/Reviewing or simply Reviewing cycles. If you have an initial submission period followed by a subsequent collection of information, you will want to add rounds. Rounds can also be used to have multiple reviewing cycles. If your collection program requires multiple rounds, you will want to click 'Configure' to add those rounds.

On the Configure Rounds page, you have the option to 'Add a Round'. By selecting this, you will have the following options:

• Name

  - This will be the name of your round. (Ex: Media Collection)

• Type

  - This will set the type of round. To collect additional data from the submitter, you will select 'Submissions + Judging'. To add an additional reviewing round, you will select 'Judging Only.'

• Place after

  - This will allow you to select where this round will be in your submission cycle.

• Click 'Save' to add the round.

Once you have set your rounds, you are able to set the Submission and Reviewing Periods for each round. At OpenWater, we refer to these as the Open/Close Dates. You will see either 'No Dates Set' or the date and time you previously selected. If you wish to set/change this date, simply click on 'No Dates Set' (or the date you previously set), and you will be taken to the Open/Close Date settings for that round.

Keep in mind that these dates and times are round specific. You will want the dates for your initial period to last as long as applicants are able to submit.

The following information is available on the Open/Close Dates setting page:

• Start Acception Submissions

  - This will be the name of your round. (Ex: Media Collection)

• Last Day to Submit
