How To: Mark Petition as Successful

Congratulations on your successful campaign! 

 

Mark a petition as a success

To mark the petition as a success, go to the petition > click the Admin > Settings tab >  expand Ended and Won section. Check the box labeled Mark petition as successful.

A text box will appear asking for an Ended Story – this story will be displayed on the petition's signature page.

Click Save and the petition's signature page will be automatically updated.

First, the ended story will be displayed in a box below the petition's title. Next, the petition's timeline will be updated with the number of signatures the petition had at the time it was marked as a success. Finally, a success ribbon will appear designating that the campaign was a success.
