In order to capture reviewer scores, the reviewers must be assigned to submissions. To make these assignments, complete the following steps:

Assign Reviewers
Menu Path: Dashboard > Reviews > Assign Reviewers
There are two options for assigning reviewers:
Automatically assign reviewers
-
Select one or more submission types in the filter section at the top of the screen
-
Click on the yellow “Action” button on the type right and select “Propose Assignments”
-
Reviewers will be automatically assigned to submissions based on their preferred review categories
Manually assign reviewers
-
Select one of more submission types in the filter section at the top of the screen
-
Manually assign reviewers to submissions. This is done by selecting reviewers from the drop-downs next to each submission. Manual reviewer assignment can be done instead of automatic reviewer assignment, or to refine the automatic assignment results
Notes:
Once a review has been submitted (for a given submission type), then the 'Propose Assignments' button becomes inactive. This prevents the inadvertent re-assignment of reviews. You can delete test reviews in the iReviews screens, which will allow you to re-initiate the automatic proposal process.
The system will not permit a reviewer to be assigned to a submission, if a.) they are listed as a participant on the submission, or b.) they share an affiliation with one of the participants on the submission.
If you have a spreadsheet of reviewer assignment to be uploaded, please log a FreshService ticket for this request.
