What is the Pieces Wall View?
The Pieces Wall (also called the "Pieces" page) shows all individual pieces (artwork) from all entries in your call in a single list. This view is perfect when you need to review, manage, or make decisions about individual pieces rather than entire entries.
Accessing the Pieces Wall
- Go to your call's detail page
- Click the "Pieces" tab in the navigation menu
- You'll see all pieces from all entries in your call
Note: The Pieces Wall is admin-only. Jurors use the jury view instead, which shows pieces based on voting mode and visibility settings.
What You See
The Pieces Wall displays each piece as a row with:
