Add a Standard Review Group to Unite

If you have a group of reviewers to whom you frequently assign applications for review, you can add a standard review group to Unite and then assign applications to the group as needed. You may also want to add a standard review group if you have a group of people who like to meet and decide together or if you need to facilitate part of the review process offline. Standard review groups can expedite the review process if you do not need recommendations from all the reviewers to make a decision. The steps to add a standard review group differ depending on whether you want to add a concurrent, sequential, or committee group.
