Associate Multiple Actions with One Interfolio Case

Sometimes administrators need to use the same dossier for more than one action. And since each Opus case is associated with exactly one action, this means admins need to link multiple cases to the same dossier. Wondering how to do this? See our new Support Site article, Can Multiple Actions Use the Same Case (Dossier) in Interfolio?


Batch Uploads

Interfolio has implemented the request we made to upload multiple files at once. When you click the “Add File” button in an Interfolio dossier, you can drag and drop multiple files onto the upload window that pops up.



Training Materials

Faculty Candidate View

We did a webinar on sharing a case with a faculty candidate and seeing their view of the process. You can find it (and our hand-out guides for faculty candidates and committees) at Opus 2.0 Staff Training -- Materials and Info.



Reminders

The (Very Important) Notify Candidate Button

The “Notify Candidate” button in Interfolio is the key to associating a faculty candidate with a dossier, and it must be clicked at the start of a case. This is because that button only appears at the very beginning of a case, before the case has been sent forward. If the “Send Forward” button is clicked without first clicking the “Notify Candidate” button, this button disappears and the ability to associate a candidate with the dossier is lost. Since this means the candidate will not be able to view their dossier or sign certifications, it’s essential that admins use this button when starting cases. See our support article, Do I Have to Click the “Notify Candidate” Button? for more info.


Online Help and House Calls

If you have any questions about using Opus or Interfolio, our Help Desk has online Chat help available 1pm - 4pm, Monday through Friday. You can also reach out to us at opushelp@ucla.edu. We do make house calls when needed--either an in-person meeting at your office or through a live online session using Zoom’s videoconferencing system.
