Customize the template settings for your program

If you have used a template to set up your program, you can customize the settings from the Dashboard.

After you have created a program with a template, you will be taken to the program Dashboard where you will see that the setup progress of your program stands at 90%. The template features the following customizable settings:

  • Registration form — the form that people will use to register for your program. You can customize it from Settings > Registration > Registration form.

  • Application form — the form that people will use to submit their entries for your program. You can customize it from Settings > Forms.

  • Categories — several general categories that match the use case of the template. You can customize them from Settings > Categories.

  • Payment settings (for some templates) — when to require payment, billing, tax settings, payment methods, etc. You can customize your payment settings from Settings > Payments.

  • Application process — how to approve applications, whether and how to allow re-submission of applications, etc. You can customize the process from Settings > General > Application process.

  • Evaluation rounds — one or more evaluation rounds with judging and/or public voting. You can customize them from Evaluation > Rounds.

  • Tags — one or more tags for shortlisting and selecting winning applications. You can customize them from Applications > Set tags.

  • Automated emails — preset emails to handle the bulk of communication with applicants and judges. You can customize them from the Emails section of the Dashboard.

  • Branding — logo and dashboard cover. You can customize them from the Branding section of the Dashboard.

The template also allows you to delete and add new elements to your program as needed.

IMPORTANT: After you have customized the template to match your program’s needs, it is recommended to test each process before you go live with your program.
