  • Update Your Notification Settings 
    Curriculog sends out notifications for when a proposal has an action taken on it. Notifications are sent to the originator, and in most cases the approvers at each workflow step.  If faculty designated a staff member to submit the proposal, then it will be the staff member who receives these notifications.  To update the format and frequency of the notifications, do the following:
    • Log in to Curriculog
    • Click on your name in the top right corner
    • Select My Settings
    • Click on your name
    • View settings on the right side column
    • Scroll down toward the bottom where it says “Email Options”
    • Select your preferred option:
      • Weekly Digest
      • M W F Digest
      • T Th Digest
      • Daily Digest
      • All emails (anytime an action is done you'd get an email)

  • Curriculog Terminology
    • Approval Workflow Process - Each proposal has a unique workflow based on the provided answers to certain form fields (typically the College/School/Department).

    • Approving - Advances the proposal to the next step in the approval workflow process. Indicated with a “thumbs-up” or “thumbs-down” icon.

    • Completed Proposal - When every step in the approval workflow of a proposal has been approved. The proposal is considered completed and approved.

    • Instructions - Each proposal form begins with the 'Instructions' section. The information contained in this section is tailored to the specific proposal form.

    • Launching - Initiates the approval workflow process, and makes the proposal visible within the Curriculog system. However, to move the proposal forward for review, the originator must "approve" the proposal after it is launched.

    • Originator - The Originator is the faculty/designee who starts a proposal.
