Data Review

Data review is no longer just “submit and wait.” It involves distinct workspaces and responsibilities for authors, review members, and review admins. This page is organised as pre-submit steps → roles → review workspace → FAQ.

Before submission

Before sending data into review from My Data, complete two steps first:

  1. Run Data check
  2. Click Submit for review

Data check button

If the platform finds blocking issues during submission, it opens a problem list. Fix those issues first, then submit again.

Review roles and team roles are different permission systems. A person may have both, or only one of them.

How to open the review workspace

Users with a review role can open Review Management from the avatar menu in the top-right corner.

This workspace is role-gated and does not stay visible in the left navigation for everyone.

Review member workspace tabs

The marked area 1 shows the tabs visible to the current account. This screenshot is a review-member example; a review-admin sees a different management-oriented tab set.

Review admin workspace

When a review-admin opens Review Management, the current tabs are:

  • Unassigned Task
  • Assigned Task
  • Rejected Task
  • Member Management

Unassigned Task

This is where newly submitted reviews are assigned to review members.

Typical actions include:

  • Selecting multiple tasks in bulk
  • Opening Select Reviewer
  • Setting a review deadline
  • Rejecting the review at the whole-task level

Use this tab first whenever a new submission still needs reviewer assignment.

Assigned Task

This tab is for monitoring already assigned work.

Review admins can typically:

  • Check review progress
  • Open Review Progress
  • Add more reviewers to unfinished work
  • Revoke reviewers that are still pending
  • Approve or reject the whole review

Rejected Task

This tab stores tasks that were rejected at the review-admin level, making it easier to trace what needs to be revised or reassigned.

Member Management

Member Management is where the review team itself is maintained. Typical actions include:

  • Adding review members
  • Removing review members
  • Promoting review-member to review-admin
  • Demoting review-admin back to review-member
  • Inspecting each member's pending and reviewed counts

Review member workspace

When a review-member opens Review Management, the current tabs are:

  • Reviewed
  • Pending Review
  • Rejected

Pending Review

This is the main working area for review members. It lists the tasks currently assigned to the logged-in reviewer.

Common actions include:

  • Opening task details
  • Filling in review feedback
  • Using Temporary Save to keep work in progress
  • Using Save to submit the review result

The editing experience differs by object type:

  • Process review is more form-oriented
  • Model review typically combines graph views with a right-side information panel

Reviewed

This tab shows tasks that the current review member has already processed.

Rejected

This tab is mainly for tasks that were rejected at the review-admin level.

If a task appears here, it usually means the whole review flow was rejected, not just that an individual reviewer wrote a negative comment.

What authors should know

Even if an author does not have a review role, they should still understand the review rhythm:

  1. Finish modelling and self-check in My Data
  2. Click Submit for review
  3. Wait for a review admin to assign reviewers
  4. Revise according to review feedback
  5. Resubmit if necessary

Also watch the Data Notifications tab in the top-right notification centre so that review feedback is not missed.

Status filters

Review-related lists commonly include status filters to help locate items at different stages.

Review status filters

In practice, interpret those statuses through your role:

  • Authors care whether they must revise something
  • Review members care which tasks are still pending
  • Review admins care which tasks are unassigned or stuck

FAQ

Why can’t I see Review Management?

Because the entry is shown only to review-admin and review-member. Regular authors can submit for review without having access to the review workspace itself.

Why did submission not immediately become an active review?

Submission only enters the workflow. A review admin usually still needs to assign reviewers before the real review work begins.

I am a team admin. Why do I still not see Review Management?

Because team administration and review roles are separate permission domains.

Where can I compare all of these permissions quickly?
