Opening a Document to Review in Tasks

  • Once in Perceptive Content, you'll see a list of your pending documents for review in your My Assigned list. 

  • Double-click the first item in the list; the list is populated in a First-In-First-Out/oldest document listed first sequence.
  • The relevant document will open on the right-hand side of the screen.
  • Review the document, noting that there may be multiple pages to a single request.
    • To change pages, use the arrow keys in the lower-left corner.
    • Zoom controls are in the center of the bottom of the page.

Annotating a Document (Adding your Decision)

After review, select the appropriate Annotation (Stamp) to the document to reflect your decision.

  • Click the icon.


  • Select Create Annotation.
  • Move your cursor to the location on the document where you'd like to place the annotation.
    • Please do not cover a previous reviewer's annotation or any of the content of the form.


  • Select Annotation Type of Text Stamp.


  • Click the Annotation Template drop-down menu for your decision or recommendation.
    • Select the annotation appropriate for the document
      • Registrar requests use annotations with the prefix REG - 
      • Access and Accommodation requests use annotations with the prefix AARC - 
    • If you have multiple roles, choose your most senior position when selecting your stamp. For example, if you’re both an instructor and the department chair, select ‘Dept Chair.’


  • If you wish to add an additional comment to remain with the document, repeat the same process above, but select Text (easiest to view) or Sticky Note instead of Text Stamp to add free text. Add line breaks as needed to make it easy to read.

Please do not reject a task in Perceptive. If you do not approve, please annotate with your comments and mark the task as complete. Your task (review of the form) is complete.
