The review request process does not ask you to enter a decision on an application, but to provide your recommendation. This will then be used in the admissions process before a final decision is made on the application.
For steps on providing your recommendation, see How do I complete the review request above.
If you would like for others to review the application that you have been sent for review, you can forward the review request email; however, they will not be able to make a recommendation within EUCLID directly as the review request is associated with the original recipient only.

The application can then be reviewed, and their comments passed on via email to you or to the appropriate Admissions office to be actioned.
