Set Up Guidelines to Help Your Users Prepare for Upcoming Reviews
Unit Administrators of Institutions that subscribe to Dossier can establish Guidelines to help Dossier users at their institution prepare for upcoming reviews. Guidelines are automatically created when candidate instructions, packet requirements, and form requirements are added to a template. When completing the template, the option to make these requirements visible to Dossier users as guidelines is available. Each individual Dossier user can then view, search for, and save the institutional guidelines established for a particular academic review process from within their Dossier. When preparing for a review using the guidelines feature, users can automatically assemble collections of materials that meet the requirements of the review. When the time comes for the actual review, users can easily transfer the materials from the collection over to the official review packet.
Guidelines are automatically created when adding candidate instructions, packet requirements, and form requirements to a template.
