Once you have created an Assignment, you will see the ‍Add Participants button. Click it to add and invite participants to your Assignment.

‍

Alternatively, you can use the ‍Copy submission link to clipboard button next to the submission code on the right side of the Participants and Submission headline to distribute the link to the submission page for the current Assignment.

Add by email

Use this if you have a list of emails to copy and paste or want to search for users (by name or email). This only works for users who already are a part of your organization.

  1. Click on Add by email to open this option.

  2. Click inside the field. Now you have different ways to add participants:

    1. Start typing names, usernames or emails. A list will show you the existing users to choose from. Click on a user to choose them (or use the keyboard ‘arrow down’ cursor to move down in the list and then press enter to make your choice). You can do this for multiple users. To delete someone from the list, simply click the little x next to their email, or select different users using the left and right arrow keys and then press backspace on your keyboard to delete them.

    2. Copy a list of emails from anywhere (i.e. a spreadsheet) and simply paste them in the field.

  3. If you see a name or email with a red underline or the input field with a red border, you may have mistyped or pasted an invalid email (e.g. missing the @-sign). Correct your input and go to the next step.

  4. Click Add Participants to save the list of participants in your Assignment without sending an invitation. You can come back later and send the invitation email to all of them with the bulk action ‍Invite selected participants above the list.

  5. Click Add & send invites to save the list of participants in your Assignment and immediately send an invitation email. The invitation email will contain a link to the Assignment, or a link to sign up in case the invited participant is not registered at PlagScan yet (and your organization requires an account to submit to an Assignment).

Add by file

If you have a spreadsheet file (csv, xls, xls, xlsx, ods) that contains a column of emails for the people you want to invite, you can upload this file here. It doesn't matter if you have more columns in it, only a correct email is required.

  1. Click on Add by file to open this option.

  2. Click Select on the right side of the input field.

  3. Choose your spreadsheet file from your computer and click Open. The filename now shows in the field.

  4. If your file contains headline rows, like Email, First Name, etc., check the checkbox First row contains headlines below the select field. The content of these header columns then will not be treated as a user.

  5. Click Upload list.

  6. Choose the column that corresponds to the data (Email, First name, Last name). Other columns will be ignored. Only the email field is required, so it does not matter if you don’t have columns for first name or last name, just leave the -- hyphens for empty columns.

  7. Click Add Participants to save the list of participants in your Assignment without sending an invitation. You can come back later and send the invitation email to all of them with the bulk action ‍Invite selected participants above the list.

  8. Click Add & send invites to save the list of participants in your Assignment and immediately send an invitation email. The invitation email will contain a link to the Assignment, or a link to sign up in case the invited participant is not registered at PlagScan yet (and your organization requires an account to submit to an Assignment).
