Shared assessments

Read the assessments an organisation has shared with you, read-only, with only the questions, scores and names it chose to share.

Last updated

An organisation can share other assessors' assessments with you, so you can see how others read the same applications. Shared Assessments appears in the menu on the left once the organisation has shared at least one assessment with you. Until then there is nothing to show, and the item is not in the menu.

Assessment, Application, Assessment Round and Assessor are your organisation's own terms if you've renamed them.

The list

Shared Assessments lists the assessments shared with you, the most recently shared first, 25 to a page. Each row shows:

  • the Application, by its title and reference number;
  • the Assessment Round it was assessed in;
  • Shared, the date it was shared with you;
  • the Assessor who wrote it, or Not shared when the organisation chose not to share the assessor's name.

In a round that uses blind review, an application is named by its reference number alone. On a phone each row is shown as a card.

Select an application to read its assessment.

Reading a shared assessment

A shared assessment is a read-only copy. Nothing on the page can be changed, and Back returns you to the list.

You see only what the organisation chose to share:

  • Questions. Only the sections and questions the organisation has marked for sharing are shown. If none of them are, the page says No shared responses are available for this Assessment.
  • Scores. Scores lists each shared question's score and a Total Score of those questions alone. When the organisation shares an assessment without its scoring, there is no Scores section at all.
  • The assessor. The assessor's name appears under the title only when the organisation shares it.

What you see is the assessment as it stands now, so a question the organisation stops sharing disappears the next time you open the page.

An assessment shared with you is never one of your own, and if you have declared a conflict of interest on an application, its shared assessments are not shown to you.

This page uses Backed's default terms, such as Funding Round and Application Template. An organisation may rename them, so read each as your organisation's own term if you've renamed it.
