How do I approve a participant's award?

Administrator and above account holders who have access to 'Award Verifier for Bronze', 'Award Verifier for Silver' and 'Award Verifier for Gold' permission can approve participant's award. 

Awards can be approved via Award approvals on the left-hand menu and under Awaiting approval. 

You will see a list of participants award that needs to be approved.

You can approve their award by ticking the small box and selecting the Approve button. 

We have introduced a new function where if the Award Verifier has approved any of the participant's section a grey arrow is shown and a tick box and an Approve button is greyed out. You cannot approve this participants award.  

Awards which you cannot approve as you have approved at least one section.

In this situation, you need to query the section that you've approved by selecting the participant's name link. 

After that please select the Query award button on the top right-hand side and select the section that you want to query. Please write a reason why you're querying this section and send the query. 

Once the section has been queried, the participants DofE leader and the participant will receive a message on eDofE notifying that the section has been queried. The queried section has been re-opened so that the DofE leader can approve it. 

The award will appear on your award awaiting list again and you will be able to approve the award now. 

Thank you.
