The nominations panel shows all messages for that nominee and who submitted them. At the top of the panel, admins can read a brief summary that highlights why all nominators believe this individual deserves this award or honor. To view nominations for another nominee, admins can click to select another nominee row.

Nominations results page-level actions

On the nominations results screen, admins have access to page-level actions based on nomination status.

  1. Review description and instructions- Admins, or other submission reviewers, can remind themselves of what the nomination period was for by clicking the document icon button. This will open those details in a popup view.

2. Copy Share link- Admins can copy the nomination submission form link by clicking the link icon button. This action is only available for open or scheduled nomination periods.

3. Share nomination results- Admins can share the nomination results with others in their organization for collaboration or to celebrate all nominees. This action is only available for open or closed nomination periods.

  • Share with other Bonusly Admins- To share results with other global admins or awards admins, copy the url in the browser address bar to share.

  • Share with non-admins- If you want to share the results with individuals who do NOT have admin permissions, they should use the “Share results” button.

By default, non-admins cannot access nomination results. However the admin can toggle the “share with non-admins” control ON, in order to get a link that can be sent to anyone with allowed company email domains.

Once the admin toggles “share with non-admins” ON, a unique url will appear that you can copy directly.

The unique url will bring users to a nominations results screen where they will be able to see all nominees, how many users made submissions for that nominee, a summary of the why the individual was nominated, as well as all the nomination messages submitted on their behalf.

This shareable view can be used for nomination committee process. If admins want to celebrate everyone who was nominated, the shareable view is a great way to give everyone at their organization (including all nominees) access to the nomination results.
