Create Review Form Section (Early Adopter)

Use the Review Section page to determine if a section contains goals, competencies, or Rating Scale, and response questions. Custom Fields may be added to any section, except Sign-Off sections. Rating Scale and/or Text Response questions may be added to sections containing goals and competencies. Suggested comments may be added to each Rating Scale question. Weights can be applied to each free form question. When entering the directions for a section, you may insert tags that are replaced with information about the employee reviewed or with links to that employee's performance data.

To view the Review Section, go to Admin > Tools > Performance Management > Form Sections. Then, click the Create Review Section link. The Review Section window opens.

The options that are visible on this page are determined by the section that is selected from the Type drop-down list. Some sections are only available if you are also using the associated functionality in the system.

• The Competency section is only used if also using the Competency functionality and have previously created competency models in the system.
• The Competency Assessment section is only used if also using the Competency functionality and have previously created review-based competency assessment tasks in the system.
• The Goals section is only applicable if also using the Goals functionality.

The following options are available:
