  4. The Provost, if you submit a report for an academic department.

2. 

Who can modify my report?

Only you the owner or one other person that you have selected as preparer can change your report until you submit your report. If you submit your report and the receiver declines the report, you and the preparer you have selected can once again change your report.

Once the report has been submitted, the preparer cannot be changed unless the receiver declines the report.

Until your report has been submitted, the receiver will not be able to review it unless you add him/her as a reviewer via Access Control.

5.

Until your report has been submitted, the receiver cannot accept or decline it.

I enter data into a text area such as objective and I get a message that the objective is too long.

It was decided that most text areas would have a max length of 2000 characters, with the exception of the overview section (IA), which is a length of 32,000 characters. Please shorten your entry to fit the decided upon length.

How can I delete an objective that was "crossed over" from last year's report?

Press the "Select" button next to the objective you wish to delete to enter the page entitled "Change an Objective." Scroll down to the bottom of that page and press "Delete Objective."

10. 

I have cut and pasted from a word document into a text area and the bold and underlining have not been preserved.

Formatting will not be preserved when cutting and pasting.

11. 

I have spreadsheets that I need to include in my report.

The system has been written in a structured way in order to allow for retrieval and analysis of information entered. Attachments are discouraged, but space has been provided in section 1B for you to name attachments that correspond to the section. These must be forwarded to the receiver independently of this system and they will not be considered for retrieval and analysis of information.

12. 

I have submitted my report but realize that I excluded some important information.

Contact the receiver of your report and ask them to decline your report. Once it is declined, you can make changes and submit it again.

13. 

I want a printed copy of my report.

Enter the review section and use web functionality, File, Print. Alternatively, use Edit, Select All, Copy and then Paste Special, Unformatted Text into a blank Word document.

14. 

I want to e-mail my report to someone.

Enter the review section and use web functionality, Edit, Select All, Copy and then Paste into your e-mail or blank word document.

15. 

If a Department will report to different individual during the new fiscal year, who should be the receiver of that annual report?

The individual who supervised the Department over the past year (Section I) will be the Receiver of the submitted Annual Report and the newly identified supervisor will be simultaneously granted Reviewer status at the time the Annual Report is submitted.

16. 

How do I enter my Faculty Scholarly Activities?

Your Annual Faculty Scholarly Activities report can now be entered on-line at http://matrix.scranton.edu/faculty_scholarly. Please open this link by using Internet Explorer rather than Netscape - it will not work in Netscape. Once you arrive at the log-in page, simply enter your username and PIN. From there, select your department from the drop-down menu and proceed to enter your scholarly activities. Instructions are available by clicking on the little information icon toward the top-left side of the page. If you have further questions about the Faculty Scholarly Activities portion of the annual report, please contact the Office of Research Services at 941-6190.
