This manual will guide you through the process of using the Analyst Dashboard menu item in the IACUC Assistant group on the homepage of your iRIS software. The Analyst Dashboard is a tool available for Review Board Coordinators where analyst assignments can be accessed. Assignments to other analysts can also be accessed from here, and submissions related to a specific meeting date can be reviewed.

All your complete and incomplete Analyst Assignments can be viewed within your dashboard. When accessing the Analyst Dashboard, you will initially be directed to the Analyst Assignment view. To the left of the page you can switch screen views, view the agenda for different meeting dates, and view a 30-day calendar.  The Switch View area contains links to the Inbox and Analyst Assignment.  This view will allow you to see your current analyst assignments with the ability to filter the results. The submission Status drop down list will allow you to filter between your complete and incomplete analyst assignments.

Inbox/ Analyst Assignment

The Inbox link displays all analyst assignments for the review board. This includes your own assignments as well as assignments for the other analysts that have been assigned a submission. The search criteria at the top of the queue will allow you to search for specific assignments. The Inbox page contains the table shown below containing all analyst assignments for the board. The page also contains search and view options that can help you identify current analyst assignments as well as previously completed assignments.  You can click the Close Search button to hide the search criteria.  The icon will hide the menu on the left, allowing the Task List queue to display on the entire page. You may sort the submissions by any of the columns from IACUC Number to Assigned Analyst by clicking on the column.  You may then indicate the sort order alphabetically from A-Z or Z-A.

The filter options allow you to easily find and access any submission that has been assigned.  Submission Type contains a list of submission form types.  Committee Type populates with committees your account is associated with in User Accounts.  Process Type contains a list of review processes. The default is All, but you can also search by submissions placed On Agenda, Expedited, Emergency Use, etc. To do this, set the dropdown option to “Assigned,” and then an additional drop down list will become available listing the available review processes you can select. The Status list will allow you to search for Incomplete or Complete analyst assignments.  After you select items to refine your search, click the Search button and the page will refresh with all submissions that meet the search criteria.

Click to open – Access the submission and all the components by clicking the icon in the open column.  Please see the IACUC Assistant - Submission Processing manual for additional information.

The Analyst Assignment and Inbox links share the same function except the Analyst Assignment link will only display your specific assignments.

Committee Meetings

The Upcoming Committee Meeting area displays the next upcoming meetings, with the closest meeting in red.   From this view, you can access submissions placed on a particular meeting date, and view/edit the setup for the meeting. (Please see the IACUC - Meetings manual for additional information.)
