Using the Label Filter to Display Specific Entries

Launch plan Last reviewed

The Entry Display Widget's Filter by Label option shows only the entries you have labeled — most often used to show off winners once a contest ends. Label entries by hand in the Entries Manager, or automatically through the label field in the Random Entry Picker or Instant Win settings.

Labeling your entries

To filter your entries by label, you need to label the entries you'd like to showcase. There are two ways to do this:

  1. Manually labeling entries in the Entries Manager.

  2. Using the label field in the Random Entry Picker or the Instant Win settings for winning entries.

Labeling entries manually

Follow these steps to label entries manually:

  1. From your Home, click on Manage in the navigation bar.

  2. Select Lists from the dropdown menu.

  3. Find the name of the list containing the entries you want to display and click the number of entries to the right of the list name.

  4. In the Entries Manager, locate and click on the entry (or entries) you want to label.

    • You can select multiple entries at one time by highlighting them.

  5. Click Label at the top of the screen.

  6. In the dropdown field, add the labels you want.

  7. Press Enter/Return after typing each label.
