Managing Reviews

To find a particular review, use the side panel or the search box (Quick Search), as described below.

Side Panel

The panel on the right-hand side of the Dashboard shows the number of reviews in different states. Click on any of these states to show the list of reviews in the left-hand panel.

To Review Reviews that the user needs to review.
Require My Approval The user has been assigned the role of moderator for these reviews and needs to approve them.
To Summarize The user has been assigned the role of moderator for these reviews and needs to summarise and close them.
Out For Review These reviews are currently in progress but do not require any action by the user.
Drafts These are reviews created by the user that have not yet been moved to the 'Approval' or the 'Require Approval' states.
Open These reviews have been created by the user and are at a state other than 'Closed'.
Closed These are reviews that the user has been involved in and are now closed.

Any reviews (even if the user has not participated in them) that have been created can be viewed, under the 'Everyone's Reviews' section:

Open All open reviews.
Closed All closed reviews.
All All reviews.

To find a more specific review, use the 'Custom Filter':

Title Find reviews by searching for words within the title.
Author Find reviews moderated by a particular authors.
Moderator Find reviews moderated by a particular moderators.
Creator Find reviews created by a particular creator.
Reviewer Find reviews that are reviewed by a particular reviewer. This will default to the user logged in.
Reviewer Status This is reliant on the above filter and is used to show reviews that have either been completed by the reviewer, not completed or all reviews.
Match Roles To use all the above filters, choose 'all'. To use any of the filters, choose 'any'.

Review State: Below is a description of the checkboxes available under the heading 'Review State'. You can use the checkboxes with the above filters or on heir own.

Draft Reviews that are still in 'Review' state.
Pending Approval Reviews that have been moved out of 'Draft' state and are now waiting for the moderator to approve.
Under Review The review is now 'Under Review'.
Summarize The review is now in 'Summarize' state.
Closed Reviews that are now 'Closed'.
Abandoned Any reviews that have been abandoned.
Rejected Any reviews that a moderator has rejected.
Review needs fixing A review will match this filter if the review enters into an undefined state because something went wrong with storing the review state. A moderator can use this filter to find the review and then change the state to something sensible.

It is highly unlikely that any reviews will be found under the filter 'Review needs fixing'. But if reviews start appearing there regularly, please raise a support request.

Search Box (Quick Search)

Quick Search is the search box in the top right-hand corner of the Dashboard.

You can find a review by searching for:

  • Review IDs - must be in the format CR-xx
  • Contents of Title
  • Contents of Statement of Objective
  • Contents of a comment
