Some configuration and setup should be done before implementing the **Performance Management** module.

- The [**People Management**](https://signature.signifyhr.co.za/books/people-management-d8c "People Management") module should be configured and set up.  
    
    - Users should be able to **log in** to the system and update their passwords.
    - Complete and review the Performance Manager **reporting lines**.
    - Ensure administrators, managers, and employees have been provided with the appropriate **access rights**.
- The email server should be set up if the default Signify email server is not used for **notifications**. This is demonstrated in the [**Ruleset Setup**](https://signature.signifyhr.co.za/books/ruleset-setup "Ruleset Setup") guide.
