Assessment Reviewer Guide

As an Assessment Reviewer, your job is to review submitted vehicle safety assessments for accuracy and completeness. You decide whether an assessment is ready for publication or needs corrections.

What you can do:

• Review assessments submitted by Editors
• Approve assessments that meet quality standards
• Return assessments with comments for correction
• Make minor edits and approve in one step

What you cannot do:

• Create new assessments from scratch
• Publish assessments to the public website
• Manage users or system settings

Logging In

1. Open the portal

   Go to the Saudi NCAP Admin Portal. When the browser authentication popup appears, enter the portal credentials provided by your administrator.

   

2. Sign in with your account

   On the login page, enter your username and password, then click Sign In.

3. Verify your identity

   On the verification page, select Email as the method, click Send Code, enter the 6-digit code you receive, and click Verify. You will be redirected to your dashboard.

   

What You See

After logging in, you arrive at the Dashboard. The left sidebar shows the sections you have access to.

Your main working area is the Assessments section, where you will find assessments waiting for your review.

Note

You may currently see additional menu items in the sidebar (such as Vehicles, System Configuration, and Media Library). These are being removed in a future update and can be safely ignored.

Approving an Assessment

When an Editor submits an assessment, it appears with Under Review status. To approve it:

1. Go to the Assessments page

   Click Assessments in the sidebar.

   

2. Find assessments waiting for review

   Look for assessments with Under Review status. You can use the Status filter to show only these.

3. Open the assessment

   Click on the assessment row to view its details and review the data.

4. Review the content

   Check the vehicle information, safety ratings, and test results for accuracy and completeness.

5. Click “Approve”

   If everything is correct, click the Approve button. The assessment status changes to Approved and it moves to the Admin’s queue for publication.

   

Returning an Assessment

If the assessment needs corrections, return it to the Editor with comments:

1. Open the assessment

   Open the Under Review assessment you want to return.

2. Click “Return”

   Click the Return button.

3. Enter your comment

   A comment field appears. You must explain what needs to be corrected — the comment is mandatory. Be specific so the Editor knows exactly what to fix.

   

4. Confirm

   Submit the return. The assessment status changes to Re-Edit and the Editor can now see your comments and make corrections.

Tip

Write clear, specific comments. Instead of “Fix the data,” try “The child safety rating for rear passengers needs to be updated to match the test report.”

Edit and Approve

For minor corrections (typos, small data fixes), you can edit the assessment yourself and approve it in one step, without sending it back to the Editor:

1. Open the assessment

   Open the Under Review assessment.

2. Make your edits

   Correct the minor issues directly in the assessment form.

   

3. Click “Approve”

   After making your edits, click Approve. The assessment is saved with your corrections and moves to Approved status.

Note

Use this option only for minor corrections. For significant changes, return the assessment to the Editor so they can review and verify the updates.

Known Differences

The following items are temporary and will be corrected in a future update:

• Extra sidebar items: You may see Vehicles, System Configuration, and Media Library in the sidebar. These are not intended for the Reviewer role and can be ignored.
• Create button visible: The ”+ New Assessment” button may appear on the Assessments page. As a Reviewer, assessment creation is not part of your workflow.
