Rhythm does not currently have a dedicated search screen for references across all awards. To find references, start with one of the two records connected to the request: the application or the contact who was asked to provide the reference.
When to Use This
Use this when you need to see who was asked for a reference on one application, or when you need to see every award where one person was asked to serve as a referee.
References work only within the application workflow. A process configured as a nomination does not collect references through this built-in feature. If a nomination process needs something like a reference, collect it another way, such as a custom field.
List an Application's References
- Open the application.
- Go to the References tab.
Result
Rhythm lists every reference recorded for that application, including each referee's Type, name linked to their contact record, completion date, and status.
Tip
The References tab appears only when the application's process asks for references. If you do not see it, this application does not use references.
Tip
When you add a reference for someone who does not already have a Rhythm contact record, the References tab still shows the name you entered. If you briefly see their contact ID instead, refresh the page; the name should appear after the page reloads.
List a Contact's References Across Awards
- Open the contact's own record.
- Go to their References tab.
Result
Rhythm lists every reference that contact has been asked to give across every award and application. You will see the award, the application, the reference type, and the status of each request. Use this tab to check how often someone is being asked to serve as a referee, or whether they are keeping up with requests.
| Where you look | What you see | Status values shown |
|---|---|---|
| An application's References tab | Type, referee name linked to their contact, completion date | Pending, Completed, Declined |
| A contact's References tab | Award, application, type, their own name, status | Pending, Completed, Declined |
Searching by Referee, Award, or Type
Rhythm does not currently have a Console screen where you can search references directly by referee name, award, application, or reference type, as you can with most other records in Rhythm. To find a reference, open the application it belongs to or the contact who was asked to give it, as described above.
