Set Up FAQs and Announcements
Institutions can create a custom FAQ section for faculty and administrators. Interfolio has established some common questions/answers that each institution can add to, delete, or modify. Faculty and administrators can access the FAQs from the Dashboard. Faculty members have the ability to ask questions, which in turn will be added to the FAQ section upon being answered by a Level 1 University Software Administrator. Faculty can submit questions by selecting Announcements and Help from the Navigation Bar.
- When a question is submitted, all Level 1 University Software Administrators receive an e-mail message with a link to the question. The link also displays in the To Do section on the Level 1 Administrator's Dashboard.
- When a Level 1 University Software Administrator answers the question, the faculty member who submitted the question receives a notification that the question has been answered, the question and answer are added to the FAQ section, and the links are removed from the Dashboard for the other Level 1 University Administrators. However, the Level 1 University Administrators do not receive notification that the question has been answered.
Institutions can request that the names of FAR users who submit questions in the FAQ section be hidden - please submit a request to Customer Success Manager (CSM).
