Make reviews anonymous
For certain awards, you may want to ensure impartial reviews.
When you make an opportunity (or your entire system) anonymous, your system shows reviewers a system-generated ID number instead of an applicant's name.
For example, Jane Smith might become Application #103.
Tip: To make sure reviewers don't accidentally see personal information from another source, see Other considerations for anonymous reviews.
Any admin can remove personally identifiable information from an individual opportunity or application:
-
Go to the Details tab of your opportunity.
-
Make sure Hide Applicant Name From Reviewers? is selected.
-
Select Update Opportunity.
Note: If you've set up anonymous reviews on all opportunities, you won't see this option on individual opportunities.
If desired, system admins can hide applicant names across all reviews:
-
Select Site, Settings, Content.
-
Make sure Hide Applicant Name From Reviewers? is selected.
-
Select Update Settings.
Note: System admins can toggle this feature on or off as needed.
If you truly want reviewers to complete anonymous reviews, make sure you audit each opportunity for identifying information:
-
Evaluate General Application questions: On Opportunity, General Application, Questions, make sure all applicant and administrator questions and applicant import data are not marked as Reviewable
-
Be careful with applicant submissions: If your applicants write an essay or upload transcripts, these materials may reveal identifying details
