Recent Visual Pursuits Changes

Judging Statistics
If you use the "Analyze Judging" button on the "Judging Queue" page,
additional statistics are now displayed.
March 2025
Scoring Ranges
You can now specify the lowest and highest score that can be assigned by a single
judge. This can be useful if you are using a "sum of scores" for a competition
and a judge abstains from judging an image or the judges need to change.
These values are specified on a Competition Type.
Background Tiles
You can now upload images to be considered for use as a background tile on your
website. You upload a small image file using "Manage Documents and Files"
and indicate the usage is as a "Tile". Tiles are selected on the
"Manage Organization Profile" page.
Export Judging
On the "Manage Competitions by Group" or "Manage Competitions by Date" page,
you can now use the "Images" button for a competition or group to display
a list of images. At the bottom of the page you can use the "Export Judging"
button to export an Excel spreadsheet to list details of website judging.
This export can also be used as with the "Import Judging" button for a competition.
Import Judging
On the "Manage Competitions by Group" or "Manage Competitions by Date" page,
you can now use the "Import Judging" button for a competition or group to
import scores and awards. Instructions are displayed on that page.

Title Overrides
Each image for an author must have a unique title to avoid confusion when
referring to an image. There are some cases, however, when the same image
may need a different title for a specific competition.
This could be related to a submission to an external competition.
When submitting an image to a competition you can now specify a "title override"
that should be used for that specific competition. The field for the Title Override
will only appear when you are adding or editing an image in a competition.
Only the primary title for an image is checked to insure it is not a duplicate title.
Primary titles do not check for duplicates against any Title Overrides.
When an image is displayed for a competition, any Title Override associated with
the image in that competition will be displayed and exported instead of its cataloged title.
Your Image History page will reflect the title used by the competition. Your Image Library,
however, will display the original cataloged title. If you expand the usage list by
clicking the "spin down" button to the left of the thumbnail, you will see the competitions
where the image was used and any Title Override.
When you search for images by title, Title Overrides will be considered in the search.
The results display, however, will show the cataloged title.
July 2024
Balanced Columns
A new CSS class has been added with instructions for formatting
part of a page with equal sized columns. See the Help
article for details.
April 2024
Snippets for Page Formatting
You can insert highlighted boxes for text and other content easily using
the "snippets" feature of the page editor. See the Help
article for details.
January 2024
Menu Page
You can now create a custom parent menu that displays
the sub-menu items. When you edit the custom menu, specify "Menu Page".
When a user clicks on that menu item, a page will display with a "tree"
of sub-menu items.
June 2023
Storage Allocations
The storage allowed in each subscription was doubled. This allows using larger images
in competitions without being concerned about exceeding the storage allowed
by your subscription.
Edit Button on Custom Pages
When a Content Manager views a custom page, an "Edit Custom Page" button appears
at the bottom of the page. This can be used instead of navigating through the
Administration menus to edit a page.
