Configure the item nomination form

If desired, you can configure a nomination form for researchers to complete when nominating an item for evaluation in the exercise (e.g. you may wish to ask them information about the item they're nominating). 

If no nomination form is configured, the nomination process is a single-click action via the user's 'Nominate' action on their 'My nominations' page, or via the Unit management screen for Admins and Managers.

In the exercise configuration, go to the Nomination tab, and navigate to the 'Nomination form' section.

In this section you can provide form introduction text that will assist the user in completing the nomination form.

In this section, you can configure which underlying fields you would like to include on the item nomination form for this exercise.

Each underlying field can be used exactly once on the item nomination form. 

Underlying fields can be created by System Administrators and Research Information Administrators via Evaluation & review > [ITEM EVALUATION] > Manage item evaluation fields.  Further details are available in this support article. 

Select 'Add a new field', and you will be directed to the 'Add new field' modal, where you can:

• Select the applicable underlying field

• Supply the display name for the field on the form

• Provide instructions to the user on that field

• Indicate whether the field is mandatory (the user will not be able to submit the form without supplying the requested information) (not available for boolean fields)

• Indicate whether unit configuration is allowed (see the 'Unit-level configuration options' support article for further details)

You can edit each field, edit the order of the fields, and you can delete any previously configured field (note that deleting a field will delete any previously provided data in that field).

As the nomination form enables any number of scores to be captured, you can identify a ‘highlighted score’.  Highlighted scores are more prominently displayed on key screens, making outcomes easier to interpret.

Further information is available in the 'Highlighted scores' support article.
