Add Annotations Using the Document Reader in FS and RPT
Users in Faculty Search (FS) and Review, Promotion & Tenure (RPT) can read and annotate candidate application materials directly within the built-in document reader which can be accessed from an applicant’s profile in FS or when viewing case materials in RPT. The reader simplifies the review process by allowing users to highlight important parts of a packet and easily revisit their notes when evaluating materials. It also enables viewing and assessing multiple applicants' materials without the need to download files. Within the document reader, evaluators can highlight text, add annotations, and download materials. FS users have the added ability for to leave comments, apply tags to documents, and assign ratings directly from within the document reader.
Annotations are private notes and are only visible to the reviewer who adds them. However, much like paper notes, annotations may be discoverable as evidence in certain legal proceedings.
