How to Review Submissions

In order to review submissions, you will need to be added to the organisation as a user. You will receive an email asking you to join the organisation. After you accept, you will have your own personalised Review Account where all submissions will populate when assigned to you, ready for your review.

There are several options in the left-hand panel.

Select the Reviews section to see a list of submissions that have been assigned to you and your panel. If none have been assigned to you yet, this will appear as blank. As soon as some reviews have been assigned, you will see them populate in the Awaiting Reviews section.

Choose the first submission in the list and click Start Review to open up the page where you can begin to give feedback.

Use the button Mark all reviews as started button to move all submissions in the Awaiting Review section into the In Progress section. This is very useful as you can then toggle through each of your submissions sequentially.

Once you mark all reviews as started, head to the In Progress tab to see all your submissions ready to be reviewed. Select the first one in the list and select Continue Feedback.

You will then see 3 different sections laid out as columns: the Review section, Submission form and an Attachment(s). Choose from the View options which of these columns you'd like to see in this view. For example, you may only want to have the Review section and the Attachments section side by side, removing the form fields by unticking the Submission option.

Select the small dots on the edges of the column and drag to widen. You may, for example, want to make the preview larger and decrease the size of the feedback column. This sizing will remain saved, even if you navigate away from the page. Selecting an image or document will also make the page full screen, great for zooming in or deep reading.

Selecting the attachment will open it up in full screen mode. You then be able to toggle through each of the attachments included in that submission.

The admin team will have added the method by which you need to evaluate. There are 3 options: a score, a vote and comments. The admin team have the option to activate one, two or all of these feedback fields. All fields are mandatory to complete a submission.

The admin team will also have given guidance on how the work should be evaluated. Select the Guidance tab to see this.

Once you have given your feedback, you can select save feedback to save this review for you to come back to later. We would highly recommend saving all your first reviews rather than immediately submitting them as complete. Once a submission is marked as complete, it can't be edited further, as it will have been submitted back to the admin team. Work through your list of assigned submissions, saving each one until you have reviewed all of those submissions assigned to you.

Once you have saved a review, use the toggle buttons to move on to the next one in the list. You will also be able to see how many are left to review.
​

If you head back to the in progress section you will be able to see at-a-glance, the score, vote and part of your feedback comments. You are able to open up the saved submission to edit this or make further changes by selecting continue feedback.

Use the sorting option in the top right-hand corner to reorder your reviews. You may for example, want to see all of those with the highest/lowest rating in order.

If you have completed all the feedback fields, the submission will be marked with a Ready to Submit tag. When you're happy with your scores, votes and comments and you are ready to send them back to the admin team, select the option in the top right-hand corner, Submit Ready Feedback Items. Selecting this will then send all your reviews to the admin team.

Once submitted back to the admin team, your reviews and feedback will then appear in the final tab Submitted. Please note that these cannot be edited so only send to the admin team when definitely ready! You can always see what has been submitted but selecting View Review.
