Other Ways to Select Readers

The default reader selection method is to select individual departments. You can also select by job title, by reader group, or by readers.

Job Titles

Important: The advantage of selecting a job title rather than individual readers is that the reading assignment will be automatically updated as users are assigned or unassigned to that job title.

Reader Groups

Click the Readers tab, and then click the Reader Groups heading. If you see Multi-Site (Global) Groups or a site name preceded by , click to display group names. Select a reader group

Notes:

  • A group is a combination of readers from a single site or from multiple sites.
  • To assign individual readers from a group, click the group name, and then select reviewers.

Readers

Click the Readers tab, click the Readers heading, and then select one or more listed readers.

Note: Because every user is usually assigned the reader role, loading the reader list could take several minutes.
