Depending on the preferences for your region, you may want to adjust how Moksha displays the time and date, as well as set your local timezone. If you are logged into Moksha as a reader, you can do that easily.

1. First, make sure you are logged in as a Moksha reader.
2. On the top menu, click on your name, then on “My Profile”.
3. At the top right, click “Edit My Profile”.
4. Scroll down to the “Timezone” option.
5. Adjust the timezone settings and date and time formats to your preference.
6. Make sure to click the “Save” button at the bottom.

When you adjust this setting, all dates and times in Moksha will display using this format. Dates and times will also be converted into your local timezone.

Moksha allows a reader to rate submissions on a scale of 1-10, as well automatically mark submissions as recommended or not-recommended based on a threshold.

To configure these settings, do the following:

1. Visit your submission type page and click the “Edit” button at the top right.
2. Scroll down to the “Rating system” and click the “[+]” to display the options.
3. The “Use rating system (Scale of 1-10)” turns the rating system on or off for this submission type.
4. When you set this to “Yes” the “Rating Auto-Recommend” options will appear.
5. If the “Use rating auto-recommend system” is set to “Yes” you will want to set a minimum threshold. For example, if you set the “Minimum recommended rating” to 7, then all submissions rated 7 or above will be marked as “recommended”, and all submissions marked 6 or below will be marked as “not-recommended.”
6. Review your settings, then click “Save” at the bottom to save your options.

This feature can greatly simplify your workflow. For example, if you combine this rating system with the Automatic Forwards feature, you can do powerful things such as the following with one click:

• A submission is rated 7 or above by a reader.
• Moksha automatically marks it “recommended.”
• Moksha forwards the submission to Jane Q. Editor’s queue.

And:

• A submission is rated 6 or below by a reader.
• Moksha automatically marks it “not recommended.”
• Moksha forwards the submission to Jahn P. Slusher’s queue.

In this way, your workflow is streamlined.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to block users from submitting to your publication. Moksha makes that easy to do.

To block a user from submitting to your publication, follow these steps.

1. View your Submission Type and click the “Edit” button at the top right.
2. Scroll down to the “System Messages (Non-Email)” option and click the [+] to expand this option.
3. Enter text in the “Blocklist message” textbox. This text will be displayed when the blocked user tries to submit.
4. Scroll down to the “Blocklists” option and click the [+] to expand this option.
5. Set the “Blocklist enabled” setting to “Yes.”
6. Click the “Add Email” button.
7. Enter the email you wish to block and click “Add”
8. Finally, click “Save” at the bottom.

Now, when a user with that email tries to submit, they will be bounced to the main page of the site, and the “Blocklist message” will be displayed.

In Moksha, you can add an image to your publication so that when people visit your pages, they see a nice logo. For example:

To add an image, first visit your publication page, then click the “Edit” button. Scroll down to the “Publication Image” option and click the [+].

Choose a file to upload (the current image, if available, will be shown here). Note that the file must be a JPG and 728×90 pixels (leaderboard size).

Once you have selected the file, click the “Save” button at the bottom to store your new image. That’s it!

 

 

Moksha has the ability to turn on or off the “Quick Reject” button in the submissions list.

When viewing the list of submissions, if you have claimed a submission (or if you have the permission to Quick Reject Other’s submissions) you will see a dark gray box with the “Reject” text in the last column of the list. Clicking this button will send a form rejection using the default rejection form.

Some publishers wish for this feature to be turned off, so that readers can be encouraged to give personalized responses. You can disable the Quick Reject button by going into the user profile, editing the user permissions permissions, and setting “Can quick-reject submissions?” to NO. This will hide the button for that user.
