Tutorial: How to manage the participants of a promotion Follow
As an administrator, you can manage the entries in your contest, sweepstakes or promotion from the "Users" section, available in the management page of the promotion.
Note: If the promotion has the Login system enabled, the platform provides the User Manager, a complete tool to manage the users who register in the promotion. Among other options, the User Manager will allow you to see the participations of the users, their score in the games, check the prizes they have won, apply advanced filters, etc. Check in this tutorial how the User Manager for promotions with the Login system activated works.
On the "Participants" page you will find the following blocks:
1. Top bar
In this section you will find these actions:
- Add participants. It can be useful to add a participant that couldn't be registered and that you want to include in the promotion. There is also an option to include the participants from Twitter and Instagram.
- Export and download. You will find the options to download a CSV/Excel file with all the participants' information, and also, voters' information, contest audiences and contest pictures (if it's a photo contest).
- Charts. Choose this option if you want to see the data of the participants in the graph. You can cross several data and download, print or save.
- Manage winners. This option allows you to directly access the Winners section from where you can manage the prizes and winners of your promotion.

- Last participations. This option appears only in promotions with the Login system enabled and allows to review the list of participations registered in the promotion ordered by date.
2. Filter and search bar
By default, the participants list is shown ordered by recent users first. Use these options to order or filter this list, with the aim to locate the entry or entries you are searching for:
- Order by. You can modify the order of this list to see "first entries", "most users recruited" participants or "top score" participants first, etc.
- Filter by. If you want to see only some participants depending on their characteristics in the list, you can use the filter option to select: Accepted entries, Rejected entries, Pending entries or Winners participants (for Instant Win promotions). Only available in Premium and White Label promotions.
- Apply bulk actions. When filtering the participants by any of the criteria available in the filter tool, you'll have the possibility to apply bulk actions to the sub-set of users in order to streamline the management of participants. The available bulk actions are:
- Accept entries (only promotions without Login). This action allows you to mark as 'accepted' all the entries previously filtered.
- Reject entries (only promotions without Login). This action allows you to mark as 'rejected' all the entries previously filtered.
- Mark entries. It allows to mark with the icon of a star all the previously filtered participations.
