Interfolio - Editing a Case

Editing a Case - Interfolio

A case is the packet of all materials collected for the candidate’s reappointment or promotion. This packet, case, is prepared for certain people (committees) to review the materials throughout a process that goes through a series of steps in order to discuss and/or vote on a reappointment, promotion or an appointment to a position here at Yale. 

It is important to know there is a Candidate packet section and the Internal Case section with two areas.  This design helps when uploading materials after a case is created.  All required documents, can be from the candidtate as well as from the department and will need to be upload into the case.   Note, if you need to add another section, contact your dean’s or Provost’s office or faculty.admin@yale.edu for assistance to be sure the new section is added properly. 

The three areas:

1. Candidate Packet area :  this is where the Candidate Document section for the required materials get uploaded by the candidate or by the unit administrator.  As noted - Any materials added to the candidate packet area will be visible to the candidate and available for them to use in their current case. The candidate will be able to replace or delete any files in an unlocked section before they submit.  Therefore, Do NOT put files in this area that should not be seen by the candidate. 

2. Committee Documents:  files in this area can be seen only by members of the committees, not the candidate.  This area resides in the Internal Case Section.

3. External Evaluations: files in this area can only be seen by members of review committees, again not the candidate.  This  is also the area to request external evaluations so that when an external evaluator replies, their document will go directly into this area. This area resides in the Internal Case Section.

As an administrator for you unit(s), you will see all documents all of the time regardless of the document settings.

Editing Case Review Steps-Interfolio

As an example, the one step that will need to be updated and replaced with the correct committee, is the FAS Dean - Vote Results.  For the most part,  Case Review Steps have been pre-defined in your templates so changes and updates should not have to happen.  But if a change is needed, do the following:

• Replace, the placeholder committee with correct committee either, FAS Dean (Dept Vote -Yes) or FAS Dean (Dept Vote - No).  
• Delete, the placeholder committee once the correct on is place.   

These committee review steps are in a pre-designed order to help you move the case forward and to follow along the steps for promotion process.
