For anyone initializing a new review module, click here for what's new as our review module has been updated to support multiple reviews. If you are not using the new multi-review module, continue reading below. If you would like to upgrade your review module, upon having read about the new functionality, contact support@xcdtechnologies.zohodesk.com. We cannot upgrade your review module if you have already collected and used the old review module. Review modules can be updated only if they do not contain data.

TIPS:

• Reorder the fields: From the List Fields screen, Drag and drop using the icon on the far left (resembling 3 horizontal bars) of the field to move to a new location.
• Click the REMOVE button to delete a field on the form.
• Set ‘Display Field’ to NO, if you do not want to delete the field, but keep the field and not display it. This is useful if this field may not be applicable for the current year, but applicable in following years.

Review Form Field Type Definitions

Recommendation Field

1. You may define a singular field as a recommendation field. This is useful when you have one reviewer. If you have multiple reviewers, there is no total or summary roll-up of this field.

Scoring Fields

• If you have created a scoring field (a radio or drop-down field with scoring options like 1-10) make sure to check off the Summation button on the Field Type 
• If you set it as a Summation field, this field will be added to the Total Score for the review
  
• You can apply weight to scoring type fields, to do so, enter a whole number in the Field Weighting (%) field - this means the field this is set on will only account for the set percentage in the overall score.

Reviewer Comments Field

• If you have Reviewer Comments that you want to allow the Primary Authors to see, you must:

1. Add a Comments Field (Text - Paragraph) to your review form and set Comments Field to Yes and Display to Author to Yes
2. Add to Submission Steps, the Abstract Status type, with the label e.g. View Comments
   NOTE: This will add a 'View Comments' button to the abstract screen. when the author logs in to the system, they will see the View Comments button and will click on it to see the comments, plus any other Review Form fields you have set Display to Author value as Yes.
3. If you wish, you may use the [ReviewerComments] hot key to insert the Comments in your Final Status Email message
   TIP: When using the [ReviewerComments] hot key, If there are no Comments in the system, there will be no text displayed and may be confusing to the Emailed Recipient, so you may want to preface the [ReviewerComments] hotkey with text: 'If there are Reviewer Comments, they will be displayed below.'
