General guideline

From specialists we expect to be an active member of Whiskybase. Not only to wait for something to happen but to be on top of your area of expertise.

Found something online that should be added to Whiskybase, don't wait for someone else to submit a bottle or edit information: help us out. It saves you time as you have more options to submit something or approve modification to a bottle.


If you happen to see wrong information on Whiskybase use the "add/update info" option to submit the new information.


Specialist tools


1. As a specialist you should visit on a regular base your to-do-list which can be accessed over https://www.whiskybase.com/admin


2. When logged in into your account you have the option of the “admin”-button on the webpage. This is visible on the main menu or on mobile in the submenu item.



3. The last option would be the to-do list on your own dashboard which can be enabled by customising your dashboard: edit dashboard -> add widget -> specialist: ToDo.


After going one of the ways you get a screen looking similar like this (depending on if something is to-do in the area you are specialist for)
