Learning About EDvera: Comments

COMMENTS AS A COMMUNICATION TOOL

As noted in the EDvera User Manual (p. 14), "ACAHM Staff may provide commentary on certain documents. In that case, you can review the comments" from the Comments item on the top menu within each EDvera document.  If comments have been created, you will see a small number to the right of the Comments menu item; if there are five comments, "5" will be displayed.

When Commission staff create a comment to your program or institution, the executive leader and designated liaison(s) will receive an Email notification; the notification includes the full text of the comment.  

Comments are a two-way street, however - you can also create a comment to reply, to attach a document, or otherwise communicate with staff regarding the document.  Commission staff also receive notifications regarding new comments.



WHERE ARE ACTION LETTERS?

When you submit a document via EDvera that results in an action letter, the action letter will be attached to a comment.  New comments result in a notification sent to the executive leader and designated liaison(s) for your program or institution.  That notification includes the comment text, which will reference the action letter.  Log into EDvera, open the related document, and view the comments.  Attachments appear as links at the bottom of the comment.  Clicking on a link will access the attachment - in this case, a PDF action letter - which you can then view and/or save.
