October 2022

New features

• To scrutinise an entry offline or share an entry with someone who doesn’t have access to the Award Force platform, program managers can now download and view a full entry PDF from the manager’s view of a submission
• Judges can now upload files when adjudicating an entry and leave comments too. Supported file types are: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, doc, docx, eps, jpeg, jpg, mp3, pdf, png, xls, xlsx.

Improvements

• Program managers are now able to assign individual entries for judging, directly from the Manage entries list view 
• Two new notifications now inform program managers when an assignment is either created or completed
• We added a new button to the entry form for eligibility screening. When submitting for eligibility the button now reads, “Check eligibility” instead of “Submit entry”
• The audit log times are now more precise
• Multiple improvements were made in line with WCAG accessibility standards:
• We added a fieldset and legend to the radio button group in the user’s profile to make it clear to those using screen readers what the dark mode radio button items are for
• Contributor fields are now formatted to display one field per line with the label first and value on the line below
• We added labels for tooltips to make them visible to assistive technologies
• We added heading landmarks to the registration page to make it easier to navigate for users using assistive technologies
• We added labels for toggle components, improved focus indicators, and fixed an accessibility issue with radio fields on the entry form.
