Introduction
The September 2022 feature release of Meridian includes a variety of updates to Hiring and Promotion:
- Academic Reference, Clinical Assessment, and Education & Training (E&T) invites now have bounce-back capability (person sending the invite email will be alerted if the email fails to send)
- Acad Reference and E&T invites now show as coming from the Dept or MSS contact (as opposed to "noreply@umich.edu"); Assessment invites show as coming from the person who sent them
- Additional Acad Reference fields remain unlocked after the letter has been received, in order to allow editing by Dept users (letter is still not deletable)
- New "No Reply" option in Acad References (Appointing & Promotion); additionally, all references who have been contacted (Email Sent) must have a status of Submitted (received a letter), Declined, or No Reply in order to submit the section to OFA
- MSS can now "unsubmit" Clinical Assessments and E&T verifications so info can be revised by the assessor/verifier
- Credentialing: "Date degree was granted" field in E&T verifier site is now dependent on the E&T type (displays for some and is hidden for others)
- Proposed Office Information's Suite & Floor fields are now separate (existing data remains in Suite field)
- Cactus-sourced "ECCA'd" date (when the candidate was approved by ECCA) is now available within Meridian Hiring, in both the Hiring List (cards, Sort, and Export) and Hiring Detail (header card)
- PCN Seat Summary's Planned column (OFA view only) now includes planned seats that have already been started in Hiring
- Packet updates:
- Signed Form B is now an option for OFA to upload in Promotion; this will appear in the Tenure track Provost/President packet
- Bookmark grouping and nesting is now supported (and added for packets that require it)
- Page numbers have been added to each bookmark (all packets)
- "Last Page" bookmark has been added (all packets)
- Various changes to Appointing (Dean/EVPMA and Provost/President) and Promotion (UMOR) packets as requested per OFA
