About this page

This page is used to record details about a committee, including status, type, valid from and to dates, and modules and eForm domains where the committee is available.

Where committees are used

Committees can be configured to be available in various core modules, as outlined in the table below under the Modules section.

In addition, committees are listed in the Recipient section for all Significant Event emails in the Role dropdown, under All Committees. When you select the Add button, you can select the committee/s from a lookup.

For eForms, a list of all committees is reflected in RME Designer in Workflow > Configuration > RME Groups > Committees for all domains except Research Outputs. You can configure the committees you want to use for the domain. For details, refer to the RME eForm Administrators Guide.
