🗑️ Unassign a Panelist (No Scores)

  1. Go to the Panel Editor tab.

  2. Select your program and cycle, and locate the panel you are working on.

  3. Click the "Assign Panelists" tab.

  4. Remove a selected panelist by clicking the red X to the right of their name.

  5. Click Save.

↩️ Reset Scores and Unassign (Scores Present)

If you see a lock icon 🔒 instead of the red X, the panelist has already scored or commented.

  1. Click Reset Scores to permanently delete scores and comments.

  2. Unassign the panelist by clicking the red X and then clicking Save.

Context and Tips

Panel Status and Access

📝 Notes:

  • You can assign the same panelist(s) to review multiple panels in a cycle, however, each application can only be assigned to one panel at a time.

  • 👉 View this tutorial for more panel-specific information.

Panel Testing and Admin Scores

⚠️ Alert: If you include yourself as a test panelist, your test scores and comments will count against the actual averages. Click Reset Scores to delete all test data and unassign yourself.

💡 Tip: If you need to record scores or remarks without joining the official reviewer panel, you have two options:

  • Create an "Admin Round": Set up a separate panel before or after the regular review phase.

  • Use Dashboard Comments: Use the Comments section in the Grant Manager dashboard for informal notes. These are stored in a single text field and can be pulled into custom reports.
