Configuring Reviewer Assignments

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 the Reviewer Assignment tab.

The Reviewer Assignment tab of a review group, where reviewers are added and applicants are distributed to them.

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 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.

The reviewer search field under Reviewers and Assignments, expanded to list the reviewer accounts available to add to the group (Ambrose, Bloom, Boschetti, Castellano, Duarte...).

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.

The How Reviewers are Assigned dropdown, offering the All, Randomly and Manually methods for distributing applicants to 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 you select the method and click Save, the assignment will automatically update 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 lets you set the number of reviewers per applicant by entering a number in the Number of Reviewers per Applicant box. After you do so and click 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.
