Instructions for Submitting an Annual Review
The annual review process utilizes Watermark Workflow for the entire campus. This means that the reports are automatically generated. Faculty members will enter their data, check that the reports are correct, and Submit.

Faculty enter their accomplishment data into the appropriate Watermark My Profile
section. If your college/department requires you to provide supplemental documentation,
you will upload the documentation (i.e. full-text publications, graphs, charts, graphics,
etc.) into the appropriate My Profile section (e.g. Publications, Presentations, etc.).
Once uploaded, check the "Include File in List of Links?" box.
Course evaluations from Spring 2023 forward have been automatically uploaded from
the Course Evaluations and Surveys module into the Scheduled Teaching at KSU section.
If the course evaluations have not been uploaded into the appropriate courses taught,
then follow the instructions for uploading teaching evaluations found in the "Entering
data and documentation/media files in the Activities section" document on the Portfolio Information for Candidates webpage.
Enter the information for the ARD and FPA in the Watermark My Profile page in the
"Narratives" section. To create a new FPA, use the "Narratives for Your Faculty Performance Agreement"
link, and to create a new ARD, use the "Narratives for Your Annual Review Document"
link.
Once the link is open, click Add New.
For an FPA, enter the upcoming year in the Calendar Year box. (For example, in the
Calendar Year box you will enter 2027 because the FPA covers the upcoming year.
For an ARD, enter the previous year in the Calendar Year box. (For example, in the
Calendar Year box, you will enter 2026 because the ARD is a review of what was completed
in the previous year.)
IMPORTANT: You MUST enter your 2027 FPA Workload Percentages under My Profile -> Yearly Workload Summary. You should also make sure that your 2026 Workload percentages are there and correct, as they will appear in your ARD. (View Detailed Instructions)

Once the data has been entered into the My Profile sections, it must be updated in the ARD/FPA workflow. In Watermark, the workflow will be listed on the Home page in the 'To Do' section. Workflows may also be opened by clicking the Reviews icon. Workflows will be listed in the Inbox.
Click the workflow link. There will be three automatically generated reports - ARD
(last year), Vita - Interactive (last year), and FPA (next year).
Administrative faculty members will have two automatically generated reports, the
Vita - Interactive3 (last year) and FPA (next year).
Before you begin, you should refresh these reports. Click the blue box with the circular arrow to refresh the document. You can click on the .PDF icon for each of these reports to see their contents. The Vita-Interactive contains links to any documents that you have uploaded into your My Profile sections. If any corrections or additions need to be made, enter the data into the appropriate My Profile section.
Watermark should auto-refresh the ARD (last year), Vita - Interactive (last year), and FPA (next year)
reports. Faculty members are encouraged to refresh their documents before submitting
the workflow.
Note: It is highly recommended that any time a change is made to a workflow, that the information is saved. In the
upper right corner of the screen, click the drop-down arrow next to the "Actions"
button and click "Save".
