Performance Ratings

This article explains how to set up and manage your performance ratings for use in performance reviews.

OVERVIEW

Performance Ratings should be set up prior to kicking off a Performance Review Cycle. If they're not set up, you will not be able to use them in your cycle.

EDITING PERFORMANCE RATINGS

To edit an existing rating, click Edit next to the rating. If you edit the name of a rating, it will apply to any review the rating was used for, including past reviews, and reviews in progress. We recommend creating a brand new rating unless the change you're making is purely cosmetic. 

DELETING PERFORMANCE RATINGS

To delete a rating, click the X next to the rating name. You'll be prompted to assign the deleted ratings to another rating level.
