Frequently asked questions about assessments

Labels that name Assessor use your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.

Why can't I choose a grant for my assessment round?

Only published grant rounds you can see are offered. If there is none, the page says so: ask an administrator with wider access.

Can I change the conflict of interest or decision to assess settings after publishing?

No. They are fixed when the assessment round is published. The round's View tab shows them.

Why wasn't an assignment made?

An application cannot be assigned to an assessor who has declared a conflict of interest with it that has not been revoked. Change Assignments lists these as skipped.

Do assessors know straight away when I change their assignments?

No. Changes apply at once, but assessors are told about new assignments only when you select Notify Assessors on the last step of Change Assignments.

Can an administrator assess?

Yes. Include administrators on the Assessors step like assessors, or act as an assessor on their assessment. See Assess as admin.

Why do the totals look odd while I watch?

When scoring changes on a form in use, scores are recalculated. The round shows the progress and says totals may still change.
