      How to Search for a Particular Entry in the Data Centre

      The Data Centre's Entries Tab allows you to quickly locate specific participant entries from your promotions using the search and filter tools.

      This guide will show you how to search for a specific entry based on participant details or entry attributes.

      Steps to Search for a Particular Entry

      1. Navigate to the Entries Tab

      1. Go to the Data Centre.
      2. Select the Entries Tab from the main navigation menu.

       

      2. Use the Search Field

      1. Locate the Search Bar at the top of the Entries table.



      2. Enter your search query, such as:
        • Participant's name.
        • Email address.
        • Invite Code (if applicable).
      3. Press Enter to execute the search.
      4. The table will automatically update to display only the entries matching your query.

       

      3. Refine Your Search Using Filters

      If the search bar doesn't return the desired results, use the filters at the top of the Entries Tab for more precision:

      1. Promotion: Select the specific promotion the participant entered.
      2. Entry Date: Narrow your search by selecting a date range.
      3. Opened Date: Filter by when participants first visited the promotion.
      4. Game Type: Filter by the type of game associated with the entry.
      5. Entry Method: Choose between Private or Public entries.
      6. Draft Entries: By default, test entries are excluded. If needed, enable them for your search.

      Example:

      To find a participant named "John Smith" who entered a "Spin to Win" promotion in January 2025:

      1. Enter "John Smith" in the search bar.
      2. Apply filters:
        • Promotion: "Spin to Win."
        • Entry Date: January 1–31, 2025.

       

      4. Sort the Results

      1. Once the search results are displayed, sort the table by clicking on column headers (e.g., Name, Email, Entry Date).
      2. Sorting can help locate entries faster if multiple results match your query.
