Feedback - Set Visibility

When creating a post on the Feedback page, such as a feedback post or a request for feedback, you have the ability to set the visibility of the post. The visibility limits who is able to view the post.

Visibility can be set when managers are creating a feedback post for a subordinate, when colleagues are creating a feedback post for another user, and when a user is creating a feedback request.

The visibility that is set for the initial post also applies to any comments or responses that are added to the initial post. For example, when the visibility is set for a feedback request, the visibility setting also applies to any feedback responses that are made for the request. Also, when the visibility is set for a feedback post, the visibility setting also applies to any comments that are added to the post.

The options that are available in the drop-down are determined by the administrator in Feedback Preferences. In addition, the administrator can configure which options are selected by default. See Feedback Preferences.

PERMISSION NAME PERMISSION DESCRIPTION CATEGORY
Feedback - Request for other users Enables user to request feedback on behalf of other users from their Feedback page. This permission can be constrained by User's Subordinates, Direct Reports, and Custom Relationship. Universal Profile
Feedback - Request

Enables user to request feedback from the Feedback page of their Universal Profile. Users can only request feedback from other users within their permission constraints. This permission can be constrained by OU, User's OU, User Self and Subordinates, and User's Self. This is an end user permission.

Note: This permission should not be constrained by Employee Relationship, as this constraint would not be effective and does not stop the user from requesting feedback from users outside of Employee Relationship constraint if applied.

Note: This permission should not be constrained by Restrict to Employee Relationship because the User Picker is unable to evaluate this constraint.

Universal Profile

To set the visibility for the post and corresponding comments, select the appropriate visibility options from the Who would you like to see request responses? drop-down. If a user is able to view the feedback post, they are also able to see the visibility setting of the post. The selected visibility is displayed below the drop-down so that the selected visibility options are explicitly clear.

Note: It is important to note that feedback posts and requests are displayed on the Feedback page. A user must also have permission to view the corresponding user's Feedback page in order to view the feedback post or request.

In all scenarios, the ability to add a comment to a post is available to anyone who can view the post.

When requesting feedback on behalf of another user, the following visibility options may be available:

  • User - This option makes the feedback visible to the feedback recipient.
  • User's Managers - This option makes the feedback visible to the feedback recipient's direct and indirect managers.
  • Request Recipients - This option makes the feedback visible to the feedback request recipients.
  • Everyone - This option makes the feedback visible to everyone who has permission to view the feedback recipient's Feedback page.

When requesting feedback for yourself, the following visibility options may be available:

  • Managers - This option makes the feedback visible to the feedback recipient's direct and indirect managers.
  • Request Recipients - This option makes the feedback visible to the feedback request recipients.
  • Everyone - This option makes the feedback visible to everyone who has permission to view the feedback recipient's Feedback page.

When providing unsolicited feedback for another user, the following visibility options may be available:

  • User - This option makes the feedback visible to the feedback recipient.
  • User's Managers - This option makes the feedback visible to the feedback recipient's direct and indirect managers.
  • Everyone - This option makes the feedback visible to everyone who has permission to view the feedback recipient's Feedback page.

Note: If no visibility options are selected, then the feedback is visible only to the feedback provider or request recipient.

Note: When a badge is awarded to a user, this feedback is always visible to everyone who has permission to view the feedback recipient's Feedback page.
