The myFolio platform has a built in approval workflow to track professional development items. The school's myFolio Admin must toggle this function on and configure the respective mechanisms before faculty and staff can submit PD items for approval.
After a professional development form has been submitted, if you are the approver, you will receive a notification in your email and through the bell notification in the myFolio platform. To review the submission, click on the bell icon then click Review Now.
Read the submission, then provide any necessary feedback in the feedback box. Finally, click approve or do not approve.
You can track submissions using the PD Report on the Reports page. To access, click Reports at the top of the page then the double arrow next to Professional Development.
In this report you can filter submissions by group, workspace, supervisor, employee, view, progress, approval status, and time frame. To view a specific Professional Development submission in more detail, click on the title to be taken to the PD submission.
Here you can view the user’s responses to all required fields as well as where it is in the approval process. If it is pending your approval, you can also approve or reject it from this page.
Professional Development Reflections are visible in the Reflections section of the Roll Call Page. If the reflection has been written, the PD type and completed date are highlighted in green. Incomplete reflections are highlighted in yellow. To view the completed reflection, click on the date.
