Confirm staff on Board Data Hub task occupy only one role
12 December 2022
Please check the correct staff are assigned to Chair, Deputy and Admin roles and that each role is filled by a different person
Please check the allocation of roles per Board of Examiners on Portico and ensure that the right people are listed, and that one person is not listed under multiple roles. Please note that every Board requires all four positions to be filled (Chair, Deputy Chair, Admin 1, Admin 2).
A person must not be assigned to multiple roles as it disrupts the SITS database. So, for example, the same person cannot hold the positions of a Deputy Chair and Board Admin 2.
To check your Board roles, in Portico go to the Board of Examiners Data Hub task (within Awards, Assessments and Achievements tab). Click into the relevant Board, and check on the people assigned to the roles of Chair, Deputy Chair, Admin 1, Admin 2. If anyone is listed under multiple roles please rectify this by removing them from the incorrect role and (where applicable) adding in the correct person. Details of how to do this are provided below.
This role restriction relates to the Board Data Hub task and not exam board tasks relating to Awards and Progression which fall within Student Records Team’s remit.
