Create Review Section - Competency Assessment

Competency Assessment review sections allow administrators to include a competency assessment in a performance review task and can be used in standard and off-cycle performance review tasks. When a competency assessment is included in a performance review, the competency assessment cannot be completed offline.

Note: When utilizing competency ratings in Career Profile or Talent Search, competency ratings from competency assessment tasks and Competency Assessment performance review sections are available because they both use the rating scale from the competency model. However, competency ratings from Competency Rating performance review sections are not available because they use the performance review section rating scale.

In order to include a performance review-based competency assessment task in a performance review, you must create a competency assessment review section. This review section can then be added to a performance review task.

To create a performance review section, go to Admin > Tools > Performance Management > Form Sections. Then, click the Create Review Section link.

In the Name field, enter a name that helps identify the section. The character limit for this field is 50. If multiple languages are available for the portal, the section name can be localized by clicking the Translate icon to the right of the field.

In the Type field, select Competency Assessment from the drop-down list.
