  • Team member - Team member is the person being reviewed. 

  • ManagerBy default, the system sets team member's manager in this field. But of course, that can be overridden and you can change that name or add multiple names in manager's column.

  • Peers - All teammates or colleagues of the team member.

  • Direct reports - Users who report to the team member.

Adding users manually

Image RemovedImage Added


Once you add appropriate users click on 'save' to save distribution as a draft or click on 'reset' to restart entire distribution process, 'distribute' to distribute template right away or click on 'schedule' to schedule distribution for a future date.

Selecting users in bulk

Click on search/magnifire icon to get a search users popo up for bulk user selection.Image Removed


Image Added


One can check the first box that exists before user column to select all users. For the select set of users, you can check boxes randomly or use search options like 'user containing text, has manager, has designation, has team' to select the specific set of users.Image Removed

Once you are done with the user selection, by clicking on 'dd selected' button you can add selected users to the distribution list and close user selection pop-up.Image Removed

In the attached example above, we've selected some random users. System fetches all users with Employee Success access (excluding ones which have been deleted/inactive). Simultaneously managers of corresponding users are retrieved and set in 'manager' column. If there is no manager defined in Employee Success for a certain user, manager column will be empty. You can notice in above image that managers, peers and direct reports are not system defined for every user. In such case you can complte these groups by searching users manually.

Irrespective of whether a manager exists in Employee Success or not, one can create/edit pairs of team member & other stakeholders. As long as the team member is not repeated in another pair, the system will allow distribution of the template. e.g. in the above example, if you try to add 'Amanda Johnson' as Team Member &  add the same or different manager, peers & direct reports - the system will block you from doing that.

Once all the users are entered, click on 'distribute' and after a confirmation, the template distribution will be queued. Team member & other all stakeholders will receive an email notification.

You can skip adding users in any stakeholder in pairs of distribution for an eg. If you do not want to add peers and want to get reviews from only managers or direct reports you can simply avoid adding users in peers column and distribute the form. 

Note

Once a template is distributed, new users cannot be added or existing users cannot be removed from it. A distribution can only be deleted or closed/opened.
