Feedback
The purpose of Continuous Feedback in UpRaise is to ensure, short but frequent feedback messages are exchanged periodically. These snippets of feedback gathered over a period of time can be referred to while completing review forms. This can give you a headstart when filling in the semi-annual/annual reviews.
While creating the form if UpRaise admin had checked the show feedback tab check-box, end users would see a Feedback tab while filling up the form. Once you click on that tab it will show feedback messages (depending on the feedback visibility) that the team member/reviewer has received.
A few important points to know about feedback tab
By default, you will see feedback those are shared in the review period. If needed you can use the filter option and change dates to see feedback for a particular duration. (of course, this honors the visibility setting of feedback)
If the form distributor has unchecked Show feedback tab option, feedback tab will not be available on the form resopnse page.
If review period is not defined while distributing a form, all visible feedback of the team member will be listed in the feedback tab.
