Dashboard

The Dashboard is where you can create new and see existing submissions.

To create a new submission, select the ‘Create New Submission’ button at the top.

The grid listing your submissions includes columns for the Category selected, The Show and the Entry Details (name you have assigned to the submission). There is also a column for the current status of that submission. Possible values for a submission status include Draft, Awaiting Payment and Complete.

In the commands section there are four possible icons.

During the submission process, it is possible to select credit card payment, but defer payment to a single ‘bulk’ transaction at the end of the process. If you choose to take this approach instead of paying per submission, you may click the ‘Make Payment’ button on the Dashboard and select the submissions you wish to pay for.

The Daytime Emmys Rulebook and Submission guidelines are also available on the Dashboard.

Media

This is the page to upload all the required files to this submission. Before proceeding to upload, be sure to check that your files are titled according to the category or submission so that you can easily identify them when searching, selecting and assigning them to this and any other entries.

If you are planning to use the same video file in multiple categories, you only need to upload it once then select and assign it to this and any other categories.

When uploading media, you will be prompted to install a plugin called Aspera. This is an upload accelerator that will make your uploads faster and increase the reliability of your data transfers when uploading via a wireless connection. If you have trouble installing the plug-in, please contact Yangaroo Technical Support.

There are three tabs available in the Add Files dialogue.

Upload New Files is where you initiate uploads to the currently selected entry. Click the Select Files button to locate files on your computer or network. Click Upload Files to start the transfer.

Files Added To Submission is a listing of media that you have added to your current entry but have not mapped to a specific category.

Add Existing Files allows you to select files that you have uploaded as part of other entries, but also include in your currently selected entry.

You are able to Close the dialogue and your upload will continue in the background. When all of your uploads are completed, you must map the relevant uploads to the appropriate category and required file.

When complete, please press ‘Next Section’.
