Verifying Submitted Events

Formerly Event Moderation

 Any user with Mednet credentials can submit an event, but only content editors are able to approve events. This means that content editors may be required to follow these instructions.

  1. Submitting Events:  
    When a Mednet user who does not have access to the Web Platform submits an event, they must make a selection from the menu entitled “Who will review this event submission?” This is the Site Section.  When the Mednet user selects the Site Section, the Web Platform will then send an email to all the editors of the Site Section. The submitted event will be saved as a draft.  The e-mail that editors will receive will contain the following information:
    •  The person who submitted the event 
    • The event name 
    • Link to the event 
    • Event date 
  2. Reviewing Events:
     Editors must review the event before it will be publicly viewable. Editors have two options at this point:
    1. Approve the event
      Once the editor has reviewed the event and there are no additional updates that need to be made, they can change the save state to published. By doing so, this will make the events publicly viewable.  Once the event is published, it may take up to four hours for the event to show up across all sites.
    2. Reject the event
      Upon reviewing the event, if it does not meet the requirements for approval, the editor must add into the revision log message field the reason for rejection and the corrective steps needed for the submitter to have their event approved. Update the save state to rejected, and save the page.  The submitter of the event will receive an e-mail notifying them that it is rejected and the reason for the rejection.  The submitter will be instructed to work with the editor to fix the issue. 
      Note: The event submitter will not have the ability to edit the event.
