COI Reviewer - Navigation and Basic Tasks

When you first log in, you will be on your Dashboard, which is the starting point for finding items and performing many basic tasks.

To find key items

From your Dashboard, you will see:

  • My Inbox: Items that require you to take action.

  • My Reviews: Items assigned to you to review if you are a reviewer. These are a subset of the items in My Inbox.

  • Recently Viewed:

    • Recent: The last several items you viewed. Scroll through this list to find an item you worked on recently.

    • Pinned: You can pin the items in the Recently Viewed section for quick and easy access. This is where those pinned items are listed.

  • Personalize Table: You can alter the tables displayed on the dashboard by using the Personalize Table gear icon.

The Review Information tab summarizes the important information you need to know about the review of this project.

  • The Review Information tab has the following sections:

  • Review Stages section contains information on the order of review stages and their default reviewer, as well as name and type of the review.

    • Reviews: Latest Intermediate section contains review information provided by the assigned reviewer in each intermediate review step. This information is provided in the Submit My Review activity.

      Note: If an intermediate review step is completed more than once, the previous review information can be accessed through the History tab.

    • Reviews: Final section appears after the final review is completed. It contains review determination data from the most recent final review that was performed.

    • Previous final reviews section appears only if a final review was performed multiple times (i.e. a certification had all stages of review completed and then it was re-opened for another review).

Filter and Sort Data
