Annual Reports - Department Chairs

Introduction

In addition to completing your own annual activity report, department chairs must also add comments for every instructor within that department. 

If you are not a department chair, this page does not apply to you and you don't need to worry about it!

Step 1: If you haven’t already, log into Interfolio at: https://faculty.bentley.edu

If you forget how to log in, you can always review this instructional doc: How do I log into Interfolio?

 

Step 2: Select Administration in the menu on the left.

 

Step 3: A dropdown menu will appear, and you will select Reports from that new dropdown menu.

 

Step 4: Under Administrative Reports, select Standard Vitas.

 

Step 5: You will see a table. Select the hyperlinked number for the relevant unit to view a list of individual reports within that unit. Note: you will likely only have 1 option.

 

Step 6: Make sure that the View Vita options are the following

  • Template: Faculty Annual Activity Report
  • Begin Term: Spring [current year]
  • End Term: Fall [current year]
  • Employment Status: Full Time
  • Assigned To Unit As: Primary Unit

 

Step 7: A list of your instructors will appear. At this point, you have two options. You can either run a report for just one person or you can do a bulk export of multiple instructors. Depending on which one you would like to do, select the appropriate accordion item below.

Bulk Export

Select the Bulk Export button.

 

Select Select Faculty to use the Faculty Selection Tool to choose the faculty to include. 
Export window with Select Faculty button clicked and Print selected as the Document Type. Export and Cancel buttons located at the bottom

 

For any instructors that you want to include in the report, move them over to the box on the right side. Once you have added all the instructors, select Select Faculty on the bottom right.

Note: Under each instructor's name, you will see their ID number and Bentley email address. They have been removed from the below image for privacy concerns.

 

You will be taken back to the below screen. Select Word or PDF and then select Export to generate your reports.

 

Individual Instructor/Report

Find the person whose report you would like to download. In their Vita Export column, you will see two options: Word and PDF.  Select the option that you prefer.

 

Step 8: A message will appear to tell you that your request is being processed. Seeing this will confirm that your request went through.

 

Step 9: You will need to wait a bit. It usually takes under an hour for a request to process, and you will receive an email letting you know when it's ready.

 

Step 10: When your request has been completed, it will appear on your Interfolio homepage. It will be under My Tasks and titled Your Files Are Ready to Download. Select it.

 

Step 11: You will see a list of materials you've requested to download. Find the report or batch of reports that you need and select Download under their Action column.

 

A zip folder of the report(s) will automatically download to your computer. If you did a bulk export, each instructor will have their own Word/PDF file within that folder. You now have a downloaded copy of the report(s)! You can leave as is or you can choose to make any adjustments that you see fit (unzip the folder, print the report, move the file, etc...).

Report Submission

After you have reviewed the instructors' reports, write your chair comments in a Word document or other word processor. When ready, send the instructor's report, their SETs, and the comments to your Dean.
