    • Visit Interfolio@Illinois and clicking Login to Interfolio in the middle of the page.
  2. Click on Partner Institution.
  3. In the search box type University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and click Sign In.

  6. On your home page, click on Cases from the menu on the left-hand side of the page.
  7. Select the name/link of the candidate you would like to review.
  8. Once inside a particular case, select the Case Details page to view any instructions the committee may have.
  9. Click on Case Materials page and select Read Case to view the candidate’s full dossier/packet.
  10. On the left-hand side of the page, click on the arrow next to a section to expand and view the documents.
  11. If you wish to use the Annotation tool as you review the case, please follow the instructions in this step. Please note that your annotations are only viewable by you and not the rest of the committee.
    • Click on the page you wish to add an annotation.
    • The Annotations toolbar is located at the bottom right corner of the page.
    • To add an annotation, click on the pencil icon and select Point, Area, or Text.
      • Point – select this to add a tag above a word or section. Hover over the top of the word/section with the tag and left click on your mouse. A box will appear where you can type in a note. A left click on your mouse outside the box will save your note.
      • Area – select this to add a box around an area. Click at the top left of the area and drag your mouse to make a box. Once you release the mouse a box will appear where you can type in a note. A left click on your mouse outside the box will save your note.
      • Text – highlight a word or section you would like to revisit and type a note into the box that appears.
    • You can hide or display all annotations by selecting the eye icon on the bottom right. You may delete an annotation by selecting it, then selecting the trashcan icon in the bottom right to delete it.
  12. To view the entire dossier/packet in a single PDF, select Download, and then Download Packet. If you choose to download the packet (or documents therein), please take precautions to protect the confidentiality of the downloaded materials.
  13. If you wish to view all the materials in the case, choose Select All and then Download PDF. This will include items uploaded for internal/external evaluations. If you wish to exclude those items in the download simply place a check mark in the box next to all the materials you would like to view, excluding the internal/external evaluation materials.
  14. The RPT system will take a few minutes to process the download. Return to your Home page by clicking Return to Case at the top right of the page. Select Home on the left-hand side of the page. To open the download, select Your Files Are Ready to Download. You will also receive an email from Interfolio letting you know that your documents are ready.
  15. Once directed to the Requested Downloads page, select Download on the case you are reviewing.
  16. The downloaded document should appear in your window.
  17. View the PDF in your browser. If you wish to save or print the file, hover over at the top of the window, and select the appropriate action.
  18. Cases will remain in your case listing until they have been reviewed and voted on by the committee, after which the committee manager will move the case forward and it will no longer appear in your case listing.
