Reviews

How it works

Dapple saves your reviewers and judges time to focus on what matters most — the submissions. Everything happens in one place, so the process is seamless, fair, and can be set up in a few minutes.

• Create Review Panels: Set up bespoke groups of reviewers and assign them to different projects and stages.
• Assign Submissions: As new submissions are received, they are then sent to designated panels for review.
• Dedicated Review Accounts: Panel members sign in to their own Review Accounts, where they’ll see only the submissions assigned to them.
• Due Dates: Hold reviewers and judges accountable by creating deadlines that display in each individual's dashboard.
• Collate Feedback: See all reviews and feedback saved against each individual submission.

Review panels

Creating Review Panels is a bit of a game-changer. Here’s why:

• Involve multiple perspectives: Readers, editors, or judges can all contribute feedback.
• Flexible setup: Create different panels for different projects.
• Multi-round reviews: Different panels for different stages. For example, use Round 1 for initial screening and Round 2 for shortlisted work.
• Reviewer flexibility: Reviewers can belong to multiple panels at once.
• Remove Bias: Promote fairness by selecting fields on the form that are automatically hidden from the panel.
• It’s quick!: Assign multiple reviewers to a project in a couple of clicks. It keeps the whole process transparent and organised.

Ways to review

Reviewers can review anywhere, any time and on any device using personalised Review Accounts. Reviewers or judges can:

• Score: Rate submissions based on a custom scoring system you set.
• Vote: Record a decision such as Yes/No or another custom choice you set.
• Comment: Leave written feedback to add context or nuance.
• Save Feedback: Save feedback for later review.
