Upload your reconsideration document to the Supplemental Items folder and route it. The review level that gave the negative majority vote will receive a notification and have the opportunity to add a response letter; re-vote, if need be; or simply acknowledge receipt.

It goes in the "External Review Letters" folder. This is in the administrative section of the dossier, along with the 'vote record' and 'internal review letters.'

IUPUI does not use the "List of Referees" contacted (either "Dept List" or "Candidate List"). Information about the external letter writers is included in the single PDF which contains their bios, their conflict of interest forms, and the letters themselves, in the "External Review Letters" folder.

The "Internal review letter" folder holds the evaluative letters written by the chair, the department (primary) committee, the dean, and the school (unit) committee (as well as the chair's evaluation of publication outlets). The "External review letters" folder contains only the letters, bios, and conflict of interest forms for the 6-10 external referees. Additional letters solicited by the chair (NOT by the candidate) go into the "Solicited Letters" folders. Additional letters solicited by the candidate are placed by the candidate into the relevant folder/subfolder in the eDossier. They count as part of the 50-page limit unless they are in an appendix. The candidate should make reference to those letters in statements elsewhere in the dossier (e.g., "As noted by the former students, Smith and Jones, who wrote letters of support (see appendix), I have a clear way of conveying....."). 

There is a "Vote Record" section that is managed by the key person at each stage: chair of the primary (department) committee, department chair, chair of the unit (school) committee, dean. This key person records the votes and uploads the letter, and then uses the ROUTE button.

Below is a matrix that outlines the different roles within eDossier, how they are setup, the different types of access granted to each role and whether there are restrictions.

• To meet the requirements for submission, you must upload the documents below under the General folder and select an Area of Excellence on the main dossier summary screen.

1. Department and School Criteria
2. Curriculum Vitae
3. Candidate’s Statements
4. Mission Statement (only for Librarians)

• You have not met the requirements for submission. You must upload the documents below under the General folder and select an Area of Excellence on the main dossier summary screen.
  1. Department and School Criteria
  2. Curriculum Vitae
  3. Candidate’s Statements
  4. Mission Statement (only for Librarians)

If you have met the requirements for submission as outlined above and the Dossier status indicates that you are “ready for submission” on the main screen, then the Submit button should be visible. However, if it is not this is because the system administrators have not activated the button for your campus. The submit dossier button is not turned on until all department, school, and campus Group Members are setup for the different route levels. Usually this happens during the first week of August.

• It is important to note that once your eDossier has been routed past the Checklist Signoff Level, it is essentially frozen. In the case that you need to add other materials after this point, you may do so by accessing the Supplemental Items folder by following the steps below:
  1. Login to the eDossier system.
  2. Click on the Dossiers
  3. Click on the View Dossier button in main screen area.
  4. Click on the Supplemental – Post Submission folder the left-hand navigation menu.
  5. Choose the file you wish to add using by clicking on the Choose File button and then Upload the file by clicking on the Upload File button.
  6. After the upload is completed and displayed in the list of Supplemental Items, click on the Dossiers folder to view the main dossier screen.
  7. Click on the Submit button next to “Submit your Supplemental Items” to ensure that the prior review levels are notified that of your additional materials.

Once you have been assigned as either of the above, you can review a candidate’s dossier by logging in to the eDossier system, clicking on the Dossiers tab, and select the dossier from the list.

• View all dossiers and candidate’s materials (view only) for your department/school until they reach “Closed” status.
• Upload only “Restricted Area” materials to a candidate’s dossier, including External Review Letters, Solicited Letters, and List of Referees Contacted.
• Setup committee memberships at each review level. See the eDossier Administrators Support Guide.

Department Administrators are assigned/changed by the eDossier system administrators. Requests for changes can be sent to ude[dot]anaidni[at]reissode.

No, these items are hidden from the candidate’s view in eDossier at all times. You are able to upload these items before or after the candidate Submits their dossier for review.

In order to view dossiers with a closed status, you must be assigned by the candidate as a guest.

1. an evaluative letter (internal review letter) must be uploaded (for that specific review layer);
2. and the vote record must be saved.

You are able to review all of the materials in the candidate’s dossier, enter vote records on behalf of the committee, upload evaluative letters, and review past vote records and evaluative letters up to your review level.

You are able to review all of the materials in the candidate’s dossier. You are responsible for discussing your review with other committee members and coordination of saving of vote records and evaluative letters. However, only those assigned chair can submit the vote and evaluative letters.

Yes, you may assign more than one chair. In effect, this “second” chairperson acts as a delegate for the first chair and will have the same exact access.

The committee members can only access the candidate dossier(s) once the candidate has submitted their dossier and the checklist sign off user signs off on the dossier and it hits a particular review level that you are part off. So for example, if you are member of the “Primary Unit/Dept. Committee” and once the candidate submits their dossier and the checklist sign off user sign’s off on the dossier, it then will go to the “Primary Unit/Dept. Committee” level which is when the members of that committee will receive a notification and access to the candidate dossier will be opened up. The same is true for School and Campus Level committee memberships.

For more information for Committee (and Chair) Member Reviewers, please consult eDossier Help Instructions: Reviewers and Principals.

Yes, you can upload a revised letter for the committees, chairs, or dean, but please mark the letter as revised. If you would prefer to have the old letter deleted, send a request to Karen Lee (ude[dot]iupui[at]2eelk) or to the eDossier Administrator (ude[dot]anaidni[at]reissode).
