Review types in a performance review cycle

A performance review cycle can include any combination of four review types. This article defines each type and links to instructions for completing them.

> Note: Your organization may have renamed this feature. If you don't see "Performance Reviews" in your navigation, check with your admin for the name used in your account.

Key Rules

  • A cycle can include one, several, or all four review types — your admin configures which types are active.
  • Not all review types appear in every cycle. You only see and complete the types your admin has enabled.
  • Each review type has a separate submission workflow. See Related Articles below for step-by-step instructions.
