How do I review Nomination details?

  1. Go to Manage Awards > Nominations.

  2. Click on the Nomination you want to review.

At the top of the page, you’ll see an overview including:

  • Current Status

  • Start and End Dates (if set)

  • Nominees: Total number of people nominated

  • Number of Responses: Total number of submissions received

  • Nominators: Number of unique users who submitted a nomination

Scrolling down, you will be able to see the Review Responses section where you can:

  • See a list of all nominated users

  • View how many nominations each person received

  • Click a nominee's name to see the individual responses they received

Tip: You can also Download all response data to a .xlsx file for further review or reporting.

How do I close a Nomination?

  • If your Nomination has a set End Date, it will close automatically.

  • If no End Date was set, you will need to manually close it from the Nomination settings.

Tip: Admins can re-open a closed Nomination to collect more responses before finalizing the award.

How do I finalize a Nomination Award?

Once the Nomination is closed:

  1. Review all submitted responses.

  2. Select the Winner(s) based on your criteria.

  3. Click Finalize Winners.

⚠️ Once winners are finalized, the Nomination cannot be reopened or edited.

You’ll be asked to confirm by selecting Yes, confirm winners. After confirming, you’ll see several options (these can also be done later):

  • Post to Home Feed

  • Send all nominees their received responses

  • Export winner details

How do I post winners to the Home Feed?

To announce the award publicly:

  1. Click Preview & Post to Home Feed.

  2. Customize your post by:

    • Adding a custom message

    • Choosing to post publicly or privately

    • Pinning it to the top of the Home Feed (optional)

  3. Click Next.

You can then choose to feature one or more nomination responses for the winner(s). Select the response(s) you want to include and click Post to Home Feed.

Once posted, your team will see the Nomination Award on the Home Feed.

How do I send nominees all their responses?

You can send each nominee the responses they received:

  • This is done privately via the Home Feed.

  • All nominees will receive their responses — not just the winners.

Note: This action applies to all nominees and cannot be targeted individually.

How do I export the winner(s) report?

To download a report:

  1. Click Select Format & Download.

  2. Choose the winners you want included.

  3. Click Select Responses.

  4. Choose the responses to include, then click Download.

You’ll receive a PDF containing the selected winner and response data.
