We are rarely asked questions about the functionality of Reviews as we have built it to be very intuitive with in-built tips (shown when you hover your mouse over the red question marks that appear by key features throughout the software).

However, you'll find here some questions around issues we're sometimes asked about. If you have a question about ChiliFresh Reviews and you can't find the answer, please contact us at info@chilifresh.com or submit your question here.

For ease of reading, FAQs for library moderators are featured here, and you can find separate pages for administrator FAQs and patron FAQs.

If you are appointed as a moderator to any location(s), to moderate reviews you have to log on to http://chilifresh.com, navigate to the “Reviews” tab then click “Moderate reviews”. There you will see unmoderated reviews (if any) and moderation options such as accept, suspend, delete, edit, etc.

Use your judgement (or library's terms of use, or other moderation policy that may apply), to decide whether or not a review should be accepted. Then just click the relevant option:

• Accept if you want to accept the review to make it visible to patrons
• Delete to remove the review forever
• Suspend to temporarily suspend the review (e.g. to check something with a colleague or the review writer)
• Edit to edit the review before accepting it (e.g. if a minor change is needed to the language)

When a review or reviews need moderating, all relevant moderators (according to the location/s they are assigned to) receive a notification by email. The number of reviews given in the email is calculated by summing up all the reviews from all the locations the moderator is appointed to. This way, the first moderator to log on to moderate reviews will have a chance to moderate all of the reviews available to them.

There might be a couple of reasons. Firstly, check the frequency of reminders: in the Admin panel (log in at http://chilifresh.com), go to the “Reviews” tab and confirm whether reminders are set to be sent out daily, weekly, or never. Daily reviews are sent out every morning (if there are reviews to moderate), weekly reminders are sent out on Monday mornings (if there are reviews to moderate).

If your reminder frequency is set up properly, then possibly there are no reviews to moderate at the time that moderation reminders are sent out. If there are multiple moderators you will stop receiving reminders if another moderator takes care of the pending reviews.

As the notification goes to all moderators assigned to the relevant location, another moderator has probably logged on first and moderated all the reviews before you.
