Assign specific applications to reviewers | Manual assignments

What are manual assignments?

You can manually assign specific applications to individual reviewers or groups of reviewers. This is useful when you need to control which reviewers evaluate particular applications rather than assigning by category. 

Create a manual assignment

1. In the Manage workspace, go to Reviewing > Settings > Assignments
2. Click New manual assignment
3. Select the relevant options:
   • Score set from the drop-down menu; see: Configure a score set
   • Round from the drop-down menu; see: Ultimate guide to rounds
4. Search for the reviewer or reviewers and the application or applications you want to pair
   • Under 'Reviewers', search for a reviewer by name or by role using the Advanced search filter
   • Under 'Applications', search for an application by name or use the Advanced search to filter by status or category
5. Select the checkbox next to your desired applications and reviewers
6. Click Assign

Repeat these steps for any additional reviewers or applications you want to assign.

Delete a manual assignment

To remove a manual assignment:

1. In the Manage workspace, go to Reviewing > Settings > Assignments
2. Open the Advanced search and use the Reviewer filter to find the assignment
3. Tick the box next to the assignment
4. Open the Action drop-down and click Delete

Good to know

• Manual assignments to do not require panels.
• Reviewers are not automatically notified when added to a panel or assigned applications because reviewing may be configured weeks or months in advance. To notify reviewers you can send a broadcast or create an 'Assignment created' notification.
• Deleting an assignment will remove the assignment only—the application is not deleted.
