Fulfilling the "Required Item" Condition for Each Case

Updated on

FAR has created new templates for Reviewers to use during the Departmental Review portion of the RTP Evaluation Cycle. Please use the appropriate form(s) for each RTP Review in the upcoming academic year.

Uploading the Completed DPC Evaluation & Recommendation to the "Required Items" box

To find where the required document needs to be uploaded, look in one of two places:

  1. For the number next to the “Case Details” tab in each case, then click “Case Details”
  2. Scroll down to where a box with a purple exclamation is located then click “view”

The "Case Details" Page

The Instructions Box

After clicking one of the options listed above, read the instructions available for each review step

These instructions will tell you what is expected of you, provide links to useful resources, and list the deadline by which the case must be forwarded to the next review level

NOTE: Make sure to click on the ">" next to "Instructions to expand the section and read the available instructions for your review level if it is not already expanded  

The Required Items Box

Just below the instructions box is the "required items" box where you will upload the required documents for this review step

The required document must be uploaded through this SPECIFIC DIALOG BOX.  Simply adding the document to the internal case section specified in the instructions WILL NOT SATISFY the REQUIREMENT

As a result the will not be able to be forwarded by the Department Chair

Select your document

This document should come from your personal document storage or from a trusted cloud based document storage service:

Examples:

  1. Dropbox
  2. Google Drive

Give your report a CLEAR and LOGICAL naming convention, for example "Dept Chair Recommendation Report_Titan" if this document is going into Tuffy Titan's Interfolio case 

Leave the selected section as "Evaluation Documents"

At this point of the Recommendation Report upload, you can change the title of the document if you wish to. 

Click "+Add"

Check to make sure the upload was successful

Checking the successful completion of the task can be done in one of two places:

Option #1 - on the Required Items Box itself

Option #2 - on the Case Materials page of Each Interfolio Case

On the Case Materials page in each case, once the required document condition has been fulfilled, the number next to the “Case Details” tab in each case and the box with a purple exclamation will disappear.

Correcting Mistakes

What to do if you uploaded a required document, but didn't put it in the required items box

If you add your documents to the Interfolio packet before uploading them through the required items box you can satisfy the requirements by going through the add process outlined above, but choosing the option "select files from case" instead of "upload new file"

Fixing mistakes within the Required Items Box

If a mistake was made or you need to make a change to the document that you uploaded to the Required Items Box.

Step 1: Click the pencil

Step 2: Then select the option from the drop-down menu that best suits your needs

If you remove the document from the requirement or delete it, a new document will have to be uploaded BEFORE the case can be forwarded

Notifying the Chair when Duties are complete

When the DPC’s Recommendation Report is uploaded into the “Required Document” box, the DPC Chair will need to contact the Department Chair, to let them know. 

This can be done in any number of ways:

  1. Zoom
  2. Email
  3. Text message 

Choose which one suits you best.
