Institutions using Overton Engage can have multiple Opportunities Administrators. An Opportunity Administrator can do a number of things to support the use of Overton Engage for their institution including:
Viewing matches
More information on our researcher matching process can be found here.
Assigning opportunities to relevant members of your team for further research
Each opportunity can be assigned to other members of your organisation that are also Opportunities Administrators, including your own account. This is useful to indicate to your colleagues if you have contacted researchers about the given opportunity. These will not be visible to other members of your organisation that are not opportunities admins.
Filtering opportunities by assigned opportunities
As an opportunities admin, you will also have the option to filter by your assigned opportunities. This will only be visible to you and you will still be able to use all other filter options.
Using our people search
Opportunities admins have the option to use our people search within the advanced search options. Our people search can be used to find opportunities relevant to matched researchers within your institution. Search by the researchers name to find opportunities that they have matched to.
When using the people search, please remember that our researcher data comes from Open Alex, therefore names may not appear as expected. If you’re not finding the results you expected, try searching their initials or known variants of their name.
Additionally, you are able to search for multiple researchers at a time. Results of this search will show you any opportunities that any researchers contained within your search have been matched to.
