Interfolio Admin Guide: Part 7

Part 7 of this guide addresses how to create standing committees that can be used in case templates.

Create a Standing Committee

A CDA can create a standing committee that will appear for only the CDA's college. A standing committee can be added to one or more steps of any case within that committee's assigned unit. It makes sense to use a standing committee for individuals (such as a department head or dean) who are added to review multiple cases, because membership in a standing committee can be changed in one place without having to swap out reviewers in multiple cases. For example, if a CDA creates a standing committee for the department head, and then adds that committee to all cases within the department, the next time there is a change in department head, the CDA need only update membership in the standing committee rather than editing all existing cases. Below are the steps for creating a standing committee.
