Review Documents Guide

Guide Summary: Documents in RevCom are broken up into sections, then into paragraphs or subsections. Each subsection has an "Add Comment" button at the bottom.

• Click on "Add Comment" below any section and a text editing box will appear. You can:
  • type comments as text or
  • use the "Copy Text" feature to copy the sub paragraph into the text editing box to make editorial changes to the text.
• Save each comment by choosing "Save Comment."
• Click on the "Submit" button in the top left portion of your RevCom screen to enter your submission. Follow the instructions on your RevCom screen.

Yes, for some programs, however, public reviewers will have to select an organization to which they belong, and a Top level Coordinator, Secretarial Officer or designee may choose to leave those and any other comments behind when submitting the comment package.

Some programs have chosen to lock RevCom comments down to "Assigned" users only.

Yes. Once any organization's coordinator has submitted their official comment package, those comments can be seen by everyone via the "All Comments" quick report and other custom reports.

Yes, depending on the program.

• For Directives, MA-44 elevates the unresolved comments to senior management for resolution.
• Technical Standards provides a 30 day comment/response negotiation period prior to concurrence for Writers and Reviewers to discuss and resolve problematic issues.
• All other programs should contact their program office for assistance.

For your participation to be on record, we recommend that

• SMEs/Reviewers
• Click the "Submit" button in the top left of your RevCom screen.
• Choose the "No Comment" option.
• DPCs, TSMs, Coordinators, PPCs, PLs
• Go directly to the document in RevCom and select the following:
• Submit Comments
• "No Comments"
• Confirm your selection

First we need to identify your role in RevCom. Only Coordinators (DPCs, TSMs, PPCs, PLs) and Delegates require user IDs and passwords. If you fall into this category, send an email request to support@doxcelerate.com or call 505-412-4120. We will forward the request to the appropriate parties

Currently, users do not have the ability to make changes to or re-set their own password, but our Client Services Staff will be happy to make any changes for you. All DOE passwords must comply with the DOE Rules of Behavior. We will help you to meet all DOE password requirements. Contact Support@doxcelerate.com or call 505-412-4120

A delegate is used to assist coordinators in user assignment and comment coordination, but a delegate cannot make the final decision and submit the official comment package in RevCom.

So, No, assigning a delegate is not the solution to the issue stated in this question. Until RevCom can accommodate multiple coordinators for each organization, our recommendation in this circumstance is to create a very small coordinator team (2 or 3 members at the most). The team will share a temporary coordinator login ID and password on a temporary basis. The login information will be re-set upon the full time return of the assigned coordinator. When the team needs to be activated, it is our recommendation that the official coordinator contact our client services department to arrange for a shared, temporary password to be created in this special circumstance. Contact support@doxcelerate.com or call 505-412-4120.

Once a coordinator (DPC, TSM, PPC or PL) has selected a set of comments for inclusion in their comment package, a "My Organization Comments" quick report can be printed. This is the ideal report for supervisor approval.

• Login to RevCom
• Click on the title of the document
• From the RevCom menu, choose Reports>Quick>My Organization Comments

Yes, Contractors for the Directives Program are encouraged to submit comments via RevCom through their DOE Directives Point of Contact. (See DPC listing)

All other programs should contact their program office for a POC list.

No, you do not have to supply comments. However, you should register your participation in RevCom by clicking on the "Submit" button in the top left portion of your RevCom screen then choose the "No Comments" option.

Extending due dates are for special or rare circumstances. Contact your program office for help or instructions. You can always contact RevCom Client Services at 505-412-4120 or support@doxcelerate.com for direction.

RevCom breaks up the workflow of a document into different activities or phases. Examples of these activities may be Review and Response, 30-Day Negotiation (TSP), Concurrence, etc. The "activity" (phase) name follows the document title after the last comma. (Doc ID, Doc Title, Activity Name) Each activity or phase has its own reporting options, but all activities within the same workflow (document) share reference materials. This is important to know if you are working on a concurrence, for example, and want to see the comments and responses from the "Review and Response" phase. In this case you need to actually find the "Review and Response" activity from the document list on your primary RevCom screen (usually under "Review Completed") and print the following custom report:

1. Both
2. Top Organizations (or the top level organization in your org chain for all accepted comments within your org only)
3. None
4. No
5. Yes
6. All Paragraphs (or preference)
7. No (or preference)

A "rogue directive" is a document that resembles or meets the definition of a directive, but has not been coordinated through the Directives Program and therefore does not appear on the Directives Portal.
