Case managers set up cases by selecting a workflow template, adding candidate information and ensuring the correct review steps and documents are included.
Interfolio Resources for Case Managers
Administrative staff who are responsible for moving a faculty promotion and/or tenure case either backward or forward after a committee has finished reviewing.
Case Managers have the ability to create new cases and edit cases at their unit. They can manage case-level settings and committees, view case details and packet materials, and view all closed cases at their level in the hierarchy.
Case Managers cannot manage templates, view reports, or change account settings.
Case Manager Live Training
To supplement available self-paced training, live NIU-specific Interfolio training is being scheduled for those who will be using the Interfolio system during the phased implementation of the 2025-2026 cycle.
An initial case manager training session was offered for NIU administrative staff who will be responsible for managing the promotion and tenure review process for their college and/or academic department. This training session covered the details for creating and managing promotion and/or tenure cases in the new Interfolio system.
Unit Administrator Self-paced Training
This self-paced, interactive course covers the various administrative settings, creation of templates, creation and management of review committees and cases, and the reporting options using Interfolio RPT. NOTE: This training includes administrative settings beyond the case manager role and case managers will not have all the system permissions introduced in this training.
Estimated time to complete: 45 minutes

Workflows are designed to follow NIU’s official policies. Case managers should verify setup details before launching cases to ensure alignment.
Once a review is finalized, cases are archived in Interfolio for record-keeping. Access can be granted to appropriate personnel as needed.
