Close (and Reopen) or Delete a Case
Unit Administrators and Case Managers can close cases in Interfolio Review, Promotion & Tenure (RPT) from either the case list or the individual case page of a candidate. When a case reaches the final step, a Close Case button will appear on the Case page. After closing the case a final status or decision will need to be applied to the case. It is also possible to select Close a Case from the More Options menu at the top right of the Case page. The article below provides instructions for closing cases in Interfolio RPT.
From the case list, Unit Administrators or Case Managers can close more than one case at a time if the cases share the same final status or the same final status is desired to be assigned. Note that candidates can still view/access closed cases.
