Title: "un" Entered
Post by: sdadolf on January 01, 2012, 07:19:30 am
When you add a new sweepstakes and click on save the sweepstakes is also automatically marked as entered.  Occassionally, for some reason you can't enter the sweeps at that time...maybe the sweepstakes site is down, or the sweeps actually starts later in the day, etc.  Is there a way to Un-enter a sweepstakes...basically mark is as still available to enter?

There is no way to "Un-enter" a sweepstakes, because program would not handle "zero times entered" thing. However, you may easily tweak the program by using Entered Date field. For Daily sweeps you'd change Entered Date to yesterday, for Monthly - to last month, etc. For single entry sweeps you may change Frequency to Yearly and Entered Date to last year.

BTW, same way you may handle sweepstakes that start on future date.
