This article provides details on the different options that are available when creating Appraisals. These are the same options shown when editing existing Appraisals. This article is divided into those options that are common between all three Appraisal Types, and those that are specific to each type.
Below is a detailed video overview of each appraisal type.
There are 3 types of Appraisals:
1. Peer Appraisals (an individual appraises a peer)
2. Self Appraisals (an individual appraises themselves)
3. Two Way Appraisals (an individual appraises themselves, and a peer also appraises the individual)

Specific Options

-
Allow Access by employment length – Only available on Self and Two Way Appraisals, this option will ensure that the Appraisal is only accessible when the Appraisee has been employed for more than or fewer than a certain number of days. Turning this option on will reveal another text field for specifying the number of days, as well as a drop-down box to choose whether the entered number is the minimum or maximum number of days before the Appraisee is allowed to access the Appraisal (more on this below).
- Minimum: The 'Start Date' configured in the user's profile must be over the specified value
