Video walkthrough: account setup and assessments

This walkthrough follows an assessor from their first invitation to a submitted assessment. The video is on its way; each step below links the article that covers it in full.

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

1. Set up your account

Accept the invitation the organisation sent you, or join with its link. See Creating your assessor account.

2. Find what's assigned to you

Your Dashboard lists My Assessments, with the nearest due date first. See Your assessor dashboard.

3. Open an assessment

Select Assess. Depending on how the round is set up, Backed first asks you:

• whether you will assess the application — see Deciding whether to assess;
• whether you have a conflict of interest — see Conflict of interest;
• to agree to the organisation's confidentiality agreement.

4. Assess and submit

Read the application beside the Assessment Form, answer every question and select Submit. See Assessing an application and Completing an assessment.
