In ePortfolio, how do I add an evaluation in the Matrices tool?

As an evaluator, you can use the Matrices tool to access, review, and evaluate matrix cells submitted by participants. You can also add an evaluation from within the Evaluations tool. For more, see Adding an evaluation using the Evaluations tool.

Note: To complete the procedures in this document, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. To view a list of permissions associated with a given role, see Permissions, roles, and tools. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

To add an evaluation using the Matrices tool:

11. After saving your changes, you will be prompted to choose one of the following workflow options:
    
    
    • Set Status to "Complete": Choose this option if no further work is required and the evaluation process is complete. The "Items", "Reflections", and "Evaluations" areas of the cell will be locked.
    • No Changes to Status: Choose this option if you or other evaluators will be adding further evaluations to the cell.
    • Set Status to "Returned": Choose this option to unlock the "Items" and "Reflections" areas of the cell, so the student can revise, delete, or add attachments, forms, and reflections.

    Choose the appropriate radio button, and then click Submit.
