Committee Member's Guide to Interfolio RPT
When added to a committee in Interfolio Review, Promotion, & Tenure (RPT), members can securely participate in case reviews online. A Unit Administrator or Case Manager manages the case, and committee members receive an email when it's ready for review. After activating and logging into their free account, committee members are granted case access and notified of their addition to RPT.

FAQs
What notifications do committee members receive?
Committee members will receive email notifications in the following scenarios:
- When a new case has been submitted, which may occur only once if the case is submitted as one large section with multiple uploads.
- When a case has moved to the committee’s designated step for review.
- If a case is structured with multiple sections, committee members will be notified when each section is ready for review, but they will only receive one notification for the overall case submission.
Please note that committee members do not receive notifications for each individual section submission if the case is divided into multiple files; they only receive a notification once the entire case is ready for their review at their assigned step.
What happens to committee member/manager's visibility when a case moves to the next step?
When a case moves to the next step, committee members and committee managers will only have access to the documents and information relevant to their assigned step. They will lose visibility of any documents or details from the previous step that are no longer accessible at the current stage of the review process. If they are not assigned to the new step, they will not have any access to the case.
Why is the review committee unable to see documents uploaded by the candidate?
The committee will only see documents in sections that have been submitted by the candidate. If the committee cannot see documents in the section/packet, it is likely that the candidate has not yet submitted them. There are a couple of ways to confirm that this is the case:
- When looking at the case list, the review step will be indicated beneath the candidate's name. If this says Case is with Candidate, this means that the candidate has not yet submitted any sections of their packet.
- Packet sections automatically lock after submission. If a candidate's case cannot be opened and there is a button that says Lock, then the section is unlocked. Unless a section has been manually unlocked post-submission, this indicates that the candidate has not yet submitted the section.
Packet sections can be locked/unlocked for candidate editing by a Unit Administrator or Case Manager.
