Interfolio navigation
Interfolio is where the faculty pipeline lives. Where to click, what each tab does, and how to keep the committee on the same page.
Key takeaways
- Committee tabs vs. applicant tabs — know which audience you're in
- Shared notes are visible to the whole committee; private notes aren't
- Reference letters are uploaded by the candidate's referees, not the candidate
- The shortlist tag is what moves a candidate to "campus visit"
Interfolio’s UX rewards committees that have agreed on conventions: who tags shortlist, who writes shared notes, where status changes get logged. Without that, the committee ends up using email instead.
This chapter is a guided tour of the interface plus a short list of conventions worth adopting on day one.
