What is dfac?
dFac is a web-based interface within Duke@Work that aids in management of faculty data; faculty data includes but is not limited to appointments, memberships, tenure, highest education, professional training, board certifications, annual evaluations, and professorships. dFac also interfaces with iForms to simplify the hiring and promotion processes for faculty members.
Forms are routed for approval in dFac to different levels prior to final approval. These approval workflows are specific to the school granting the appointment; the type of form and the faculty member’s personnel subarea designation also help guide the workflow choice. An overview of each school’s workflow is available to Duke users (Net ID required).
