Universal Profile - Feedback - Overview

The Feedback homepage allows you to view your own feedback, recognition, and milestone posts. You may also be able to request feedback from this page. When viewing the Feedback homepage for another user, you can post feedback for that user.

This functionality is fully optimized for use on mobile devices and is only available for organizations using the Performance module.

To access the Feedback homepage, go to Home > Universal Profile. Then, click the Feedback tab. Note: The location of this link is configurable by your system administrator.

When viewing another user's Feedback page, you may be able to view feedback, post feedback, award badges, assign training, and launch off-cycle performance reviews.

To access another user's Universal Profile - Bio page, select the user's photograph from any page within Universal Profile or from Global Search. From there, you can access the user's Feedback page by clicking the Feedback tab.
