👥 When it comes to viewing and analyzing review results, your level of results visibility depends on your role in the review cycle. Direct managers can see results for their direct reports. Skip-level managers can see results for their hierarchy if hierarchy visibility is enabled in the review cycle. Review admins and cycle collaborators can see results for all review cycle participants.
The 'Questions & Answers' tab in Best-Self Review® results allows you to analyze how review cycle questions were answered for participants. Within this tab, you can dig into what questions were asked in the review cycle, read all answers given for a specific question, and/or or dive into how one person answered a specific question. As soon as reviews are submitted and the answers become visible, you can begin analyzing review results using the 'Questions & Answers' tab.

Use the Questions & Answers reporting page
There are three sections in the 'Questions & Answers' tab: your header, the 'Review section' filter, and the 'Team/Company Results: Questions' table.
Header
The header section contains your avatar and personal information, along with a download button and links to all results tabs: Summary, Questions & Answers, Competency assessment, and Objectives.
Click Download to download the All Questions & Answers report. Or, click into any other tab to view relevant review results.
'Review section' filter
The 'Review section' filter allows you to filter questions by question template section (Growth & development, Company values, Objectives, and/or Private manager assessment). If the review admin that created the question template for the review cycle renamed any of these sections during the creation process, the custom section name will appear in the dropdown instead.
Selecting a question template section will cause the 'Team/Company Results: Questions' table below to only show questions that appeared in that section.
