Review Task Central - Bulk Sign Off

Prior to this enhancement, bulk sign off on reviews was only allowed if sign-off was the only section for the step. Signers had to navigate to a separate link for each assigned review step.

With this enhancement, in Review Task Central, signers can sign off in one place, multiple steps in a single review task. This bulk sign off saves time and effort.

To use the bulk sign-off feature, the review step must include a sign off section and the electronic signature must be enabled for the signer. See Create Review Section - Sign Off.

To use this functionality, Review Task Central must be activated. See Activating Review Task Central .

Enable Bulk Sign Off

To enable bulk sign off:

  1. Go to Admin > Tools > PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT > TASK ADMINISTRATION.
  2. Select the Review Workflow tab for the appropriate review.
  3. In the Define Review Step section, check Enable Bulk Submit for this Review Step to allow bulk sign-off in Review Task Central. Note: This checkbox is only visible if a sign-off section is added and the sign-off section has e-sign enabled.

Bulk Sign Off Review of Review Tasks

To submit bulk sign off review tasks:

  1. Go to Performance > Performance Reviews.

Considerations

  • Bulk sign-off is not available for self-review, peer, or subordinate review steps.
  • A maximum of 1000 records will be displayed in the table at one time. As records are signed-off and automatically removed from the table, new records may appear, if necessary.

Implementation

Review Task Central must be enabled to use this functionality. See Activating Review Task Central.
