Use Guidelines in Dossier to Prepare for Future Reviews

For institutions that give access to Dossier, the institution may post guidelines in Dossier to assist in assembling materials for particular review processes, such as annual performance reviews, promotion reviews, and more. These guidelines can be searched for, saved, and referenced as a checklist when preparing for future reviews. When preparing for a review using the guidelines feature, collections of materials can be automatically assembled that meet the requirements of the review. When the time comes, the materials can easily be transferred and assembled in that collection over to the official review packet. This article explains how to start using guidelines to prepare for upcoming reviews.

 

Guidelines are only available to users for institution that subscribe to the feature.
