Is there a user guide?

How could admin staff complete ROAP forms for researchers?

Any user can create a form in ROAP, but only the user listed on the form as the “UWA Chief Investigator” can submit the form. Therefore, a support staff member can create the form and complete all of the sections on behalf of the UWA Chief Investigator, and informs them that the form is ready to submit. The UWA Chief Investigator then logs into ROAP, locates the relevant forms, checks the details, and can submit the form.

How do I ensure I am selecting the correct investigators?

UWA Staff member (including adjunct, honorary, clinical and emeritus positions) have a profile created automatically in the system. When adding a researcher to the form search by name in the "email" field, e.g. If the researcher is called Thomas Jones enter the name in this format into the field, do not enter an email address. the system will then search all users for a match and then you can select from the drop down that appears.

For a UWA staff member always pick the entry that displays an email address in the format of {staff number}@uwa.edu.au after their name

If the researcher is external to UWA and does not appear in the list, you can enter their full email address in this field and manually enter the other details. Do not use this option for UWA Staff member (including adjunct, honorary, clinical and emeritus positions), as it will result in missing data on their UWA Research Repository and other UWA systems.
