Criteria

  • Set the criteria for the report to get a list of winners:
    1. Select the Station or Stations (the default option is the station into which you are logged in).
    2. Narrow the list of contests by type or category.
    3. Narrow the winners shown for each contest selected.
    4. Select the contests from which you would like to see winners; by default you will only see Open Contests, which is contests that are active as of the date you are running the query. If you need a list from a closed contest, uncheck "Open Contests Only."

  • Select the contest(s) from the list, or Select All, then hit "Submit."

  • You can add or remove fields by dragging field titles to the list of fields Included in Report on the right; removing field titles by clicking the red 'X' icon will move them back to the list of Available Fields on the right.  You can also reorder fields in the results by dragging the field title to a different position in the list of Included in Report.

  • Once you have made changes to the layout you can save it for future use. You can even make it the default layout you see when running this report in the future, and/or make it available to other PromoSuite Next users at your station.  Just give it a name and make the appropriate selections before clicking "Save Layout."
