How to moderate the entries of users?

Through the moderation module of your Bpart platform, you manage your online debate: you moderate comments and entries submitted by users or participants. This article specifically focuses on moderating entries.

Starting point: status of a new entry

When a participant submits an entry to your project, it does not appear immediately on the platform. In the background, every newly submitted entry receives two labels:

• Not visible
• Not moderated

As a result, the entry appears in your list of entries to be moderated. This is the default screen of the moderation module.

Use the filters at the top of the screen to adjust this view and search for other entries. You can filter by visibility, moderation status, tags, topics, or keywords (author, ID, or content).

Click on an entry to start moderating.

Step 1: review

Read the entry and decide what to do with it. You can take four actions:

1. Edit the entry (correct typos or spelling mistakes, add characters, etc.)
2. Change the topic of the entry (Switch Topic)
3. Publish the entry (approve it for publication)
4. Don't publish: confirm that the entry should not be published (reject it for publication)

Step 2: analysis

Prepare the analysis of your project during the analysis phase of moderation. Here, you can perform three actions:

1. Add one or more tags
2. Add moderation notes: reflections for later, interesting excerpts or quotes from the entry, etc.
3. Add an attachment (supporting documents, internal feedback emails, etc.)

The information in the analysis screen is internal and not publicly visible.

Step 3: email notification

Inform the participant about the status of the entry:

1. Choose an email template or start from a blank email
2. Finalize the email (templates are editable)
3. Send the email
4. After sending, the email history appears and can be consulted at any time (mail history)
