Hello, I am building a "Virtual Promotion Board" on my unit's SharePoint page so that boards can still be held during this "work from home" time. The issue that I am running into is that I need a way to hide board member comments from the other board members so that they can look at the Soldier's promotion packet without the possibility of being swayed by the info that the other board members have already entered. Need it so that the members that do not have a vote can see all comments, but voting members can only see their own comments.

EDIT: I appreciate all the comments and input. I have found a way to do this. While I do agree that the other board members should be able to see the comments from others and that is how I had the board set up originally, but directive came down from higher to change it, despite me bringing up the point that it should be a discussion between the board members.

Talk to your S6 about the CVR. It would do a video chat and you can still have mutiple chat rooms witu different people. It is secured but accessable from home computers and has a mobile app.

Thank you for your input MSG, and while that may be a viable option for an Active Duty unit I don't think that solution will work for a Reserve unit. I am setting it up on SharePoint so that the board members can go in when they have time to during the board time frame (2-3 days, still waiting on CSM to push out what the dates are) while having minimal disruption to their civilian jobs.

SSG (Join to see) maybe create folders for each board member with their own copy of board packets to review and comment? Then you consolidate for the end of board memo.

1SG (Join to see) - Thank you again for the input. Turns out I was putting way too much thought into it. For anyone else that is wondering a good way to do this, I created a Word document that I am able to pre-fill Soldier info in, sent to the board members to put in their recommendations and comments and instructions on where and how to upload it.

Ask you IT person to set up board member folders on a server, and then have the permissions (security) set do only the person can access the folder. Of course admin IT people can go anywhere they like.
