Subpage: Summary

This subpage displays relevant data about the appointee from systems that Opus connects with.  For example, their email address and their UCLA Logon ID or MedNet ID will be displayed.  If either of these fields are blank for a current appointee, the department won't be able to create a dossier/packet in Interfolio for their review case.


Subpage: Active Appointments

This subpage displays details for an academic appointee's active appointment(s), grouped into static tables in the (B) Main Area. See the screenshot above for an example.


Link: Hide/View Details

Below each appointment table is a link to hide or view details. Clicking the "view" link allows the user to view data related to the appointee's salary, such as scale amounts. This also allows the user to view details about the appointment itself, including Start Dates at Rank, Series and Step.
