Under the Reviewer Assignment tab you can add Reviewers to score applicants in the selected group.
To get started, select a review group (via the Review tab) and click on the 'Reviewer Assignment' tab.
Next, click into the search box under 'Reviewers & Assignments'. A list of reviewer names will be displayed. Either scroll through the list or start typing a name to find the reviewer(s) you'd like to add. Click on the reviewer's name to add them to the group.
Note: If you cannot locate a reviewer in the dropdown list, this means that they do not yet have an account. To learn how to create an account for them, click here.
After adding the desired Reviewers, click the dropdown menu that says 'Select One' under How Reviewers are Assigned. This enables you to choose how applicants are distributed to your Reviewers.
There are 3 assignment methods you can choose from:
- All: assigns every applicant to every reviewer (e.g. if you have five applicants in the group and two reviewers, both reviewers will be assigned all five applications to review). After selecting this method and clicking 'Save', the assignment will automatically be updated to assign all applicants to all reviewers.
- Randomly: assigns applicants to reviewers randomly and equally (e.g. if you have 20 applicants in the group and two reviewers, each reviewer will be assigned 10 applicants). This method allows you to set a number of reviewers per applicant by entering a number in the 'Number of Reviewers per Applicant' box. After doing so and clicking 'Save', the assignment will automatically update to randomly distribute the applicants.
- Manually: allows you to assign applicants manually. With this method you can also set a number of reviewers per applicant by entering a number in the 'Number of Reviewers per Applicant' box. After doing so and clicking 'Save', you'll be able to manually assign applicants to reviewers.
In the lower right corner under 'Unassigned Applicants', you will see a list of applicants who have not yet been assigned to any reviewers.
For example, to manually assign an applicant to a reviewer, check the checkbox by his/her name and click Assign to Reviewer.
Click on a reviewer name to select them as the reviewer for this application, then click 'Done' to complete the assignment.
The number of Applicants for the corresponding reviewer will increase.
To unassign an application from a reviewer, click the 'Edit' button by that reviewer’s name.
A full list of students assigned to this reviewer will be displayed. Click the checkbox by the applicant’s name and click 'Remove' to unassign them from this reviewer's assignments.
