Winner Dashboard Terms & Definitions
The Winner Dashboard allows users to track contest winners from the time they are selected until their prize has been distributed. This guide explains the meaning of each status, field, and action available in the dashboard.
Fulfillment Status Filter
The Fulfillment Status filter allows you to quickly find winners based on where they are in the fulfillment workflow. Available options include: Undistributed, Waiting for Winner Info, Waiting for Signature, Pending Signature Review, Ready to Distribute, Completed, or All Regardless of Status.
Undistributed
The prize has not yet been distributed to the winner.
Waiting for Winner Info
The system is waiting for the winner to provide required information before fulfillment can continue.
Waiting for Signature
The winner still needs to sign one or more required documents.
Pending Signature Review
The required documents have been submitted and are awaiting review or approval.
Ready to Distribute
All required documentation has been completed and the prize is ready to be distributed.
Completed
The fulfillment process has been completed and the prize has been delivered.
All Regardless of Status
Selecting All Regardless of Status displays every winner record, no matter where it is in the fulfillment process. This option ignores the current fulfillment status and includes winners that are Undistributed, Waiting for Winner Info, Waiting for Signature, Pending Signature Review, Ready to Distribute, and Completed. Use this filter when you need a complete view of all winner records without limiting the results to a specific fulfillment stage.
