Reviewing Tests, Questionnaires And Documents
Depending on the configuration of your PolicyHub system and the type of reviews required for Tests, Questionnaires and Documents, there are two types of reviews that may arrive in your Inbox:
- Review documents (See “Review Document”).
- Review (See “Review”).
Note: Depending on your PolicyHub system licence, Review may not be available.
Review and Review documents are issued to an advisory panel for pre‐release comments. (Review and Review documents refer to Review Documents, Review Tests and Review Questionnaires.)
Recipients of Review and Review Documents may be experts in a particular field of operation and their comments are required to ensure Read Documents, Questionnaires and Tests address the compliance needs of their organisation.
When a document has been reviewed, commented on and returned, the Publisher can decide which of the suggested changes to implement. It can then be published to the required recipients to initiate enterprise‐wide compliance.
This section describes the Read Document, Questionnaire and Test Review process.
Review Document
Go to the Review Document in your PolicyHub® Inbox, see “Inbox”.
Open the Review Document by clicking the Review Document button next to it, as described in “Opening Items In A Publication”.
When reviewing a document, make sure you read it thoroughly and follow all hyperlinks (if any) in the Review Document. To return to your original document, from a hyperlinked document, click the Return to original document text. If Reference Documents are included in the Review, read those also.
The document being sent to you for review might be a Word, a PDF, an Excel or a PowerPoint document. You cannot tell what type of document has been sent to you for review until the document is opened. Opening each kind of review document is described below.
