Reviewer Role

This article will provide an overview of the reviewer's role. The reviewer role is typically assigned to department/unit administrative staff and is a prerequisite for many other roles such as, stock evaluator, faculty status change, historical data, etc. It is best practice to have at least two reviewers per department/unit. To learn more about roles, please visit the Roles Overview article. To learn more about reviewers, visit the APM 025 Reviewer knowledge base or the APM 671 reviewer knowledge base.
