Create a performance ratings rubric

This article explains how Review Admins create a performance ratings rubric, which maps normalized formula scores to performance levels.

Before You Begin

• You must have a performance ratings formula already created. See Create a performance ratings formula for instructions.
• You must have Review Admin access. This feature is available on the Perform and Total Platform pricing packages.

Steps

1. Click Reviews in the left-hand navigation.
2. Click the Template configuration tab.
3. Click the Rubrics tab.
4. Click Create template in the upper-right corner.
5. In the pop-up, click Rubrics, then click Create.
6. Enter a name in the Rubric Name field.
7. In the Add performance categories and point ranges for the designations section, complete the fields for your first category:

- Category name — title of the performance level - Score range (Min / Max) — whole integers only; no decimals or negative values - Description — brief explanation of what this level represents

1. Click Add category to add another category.

> Note: Rubrics require a minimum of 3 categories and a maximum of 8. Score ranges must not overlap and must be continuous — if the first category ends at 33, the next must begin at 34.

1. Repeat steps 7–8 until all categories are defined.
2. Click Create rubric.

What to Expect After Saving

The new rubric appears on the Rubrics page in both Card and Grid view. If the rubric does not appear, refresh the page and confirm you clicked Create rubric in step 10.
