We recommend testing the program processes once you're done setting up the program in Evalato and before going Live.
In order to test the submission process, please follow these steps:
-
Make a registration for the program as an applicant would - the program's URL can be found on the Dashboard;
-
Check your email for the registration confirmation and use the URL to log into your personal profile;
-
Create and send the test application for approval.
Keep in mind that testing this process requires you to set up a registration form (Settings > Registration), at least one application category (Settings > Categories), and one application form (Settings > Forms). Also, make sure that you've allowed applications and registrations when trying to test (Settings > General > Program basics).
In order to test the judging process, please follow these steps:
-
Make a test registration for the program as an applicant would and submit the test application for approval;
-
In your Evalato admin workspace go to Applications, approve the test application using the Set status button, and shortlist it for a round using the Set round button;
-
Go to Evaluation > Judges > Add judge to add yourself as a program judge. Make sure you assign yourself to the judging round and category that the test application belongs to;
-
Check your email for the judging invitation and use the URL to log into the judging portal. Vote on the test application;
-
Check in Evaluation > Results to see if the judge vote for the test application has been registered correctly.
-
If you are testing in Live mode, you will need to delete the judge vote from Evaluation > Votes, remove your test judge from Evaluation > Judges, and delete the test registration from Registrations. When switching from Test to Live mode these are all automatically deleted.
