This article will explain how to configure approval settings for data added by Users appearing on your EcoMap.
In our experience the vast majority of User-added data is appropriate and beneficial to an EcoMap, but you may decide you'd like to require approval before any User-added data shows up in your EcoMap. This article will explain how to update these settings.
1. From the Platform Settings admin dashboard, click on Platform Settings
To access the Platform Setting section, click on your profile picture or first initial in the upper right hand corner of the dashboard, then select Platform Settings.
Then, select the Platform Settings Section.
2. Click on the Data types tab.
3. Click on the Edit icon on the Data type you wish to modify approval processes for-- Organizations, Resources, Events, etc.
4. Focus on the Allowed Review Statuses box.
Remove "Needs Review" as an Allowed Review status to only show approved Data in the directories.
💡Tip: If you only allow "Approved" assets to be visible in directories, you need to make sure an Admin is actively reviewing and approving this data type!
5. Click on Save changes.
Repeat this process to modify the approval process for each data type you leverage on your site.
Well done, you! 🌟
