One of the great ways you can share your work as an InfoReady admin is through template sharing. In InfoReady, you can share a competition template with any other admin, regardless of where they work. Your processes may be very similar between your office and other departments and institutions. Starting with a pre-build template saves you time and a peer's template may include useful details you hadn't yet considered. Once a template is shared with you, you can save a copy and customize it to fit your needs.
The generosity of our admins has always been amazing, not only do you share templates, but sometimes you hop on a call with the other admin and share tips and tricks too!
Although template sharing has been part of InfoReady for many years, finding a template often required you to put out a request for a template with your account manager or on the InfoReady Listserv. Now there is a faster and more comprehensive option, the InfoReady Template Library!
Find a Template
Initially the Template Library has been filled with templates that our clients ask for every day, like Letters of Intent, Fellowships, No-Cost Extensions, Scholarships, and more, but as importantly, as an InfoReady admin, you can share your templates too!
Share a Template
If you have an InfoReady template that you don't see in the library you can share it with us to post on the site. Do you want credit? We'll put your name on it! If you want to stay anonymous we can do that too. The InfoReady Team will double check to make sure your template doesn't have any proprietary information before posting.
Suggest a Template
Is there a template you think would be useful to you and your peers that you aren't seeing? You can make a suggestion, and an InfoReady employee may be able to create one for the Library. If not our Support Team will be able to provide pointers to help you create what you need.
In its first few weeks we have had dozens of requests for templates, with more than one admin asking for as many as eleven templates at a time!
You will need to create a new InfoReady account for the Template Library site in order to receive or share templates, using the same email address as the one you use for your own institution.
One of the great benefits of working at InfoReady is that getting to work with university administrators. Thank you to all of the InfoReady admins who have been sharing their templates with each other over the years, and to all of the admins who will now be able to share templates in the Template Library!
