Settings Explained: Create or Edit Review Setup

Signify Header.png

A review setup defines the structure and rules governing the performance review process within an organisation. It determines how performance agreements function, specifying rating permissions, the level of the employee's involvement, and approval workflows.

Each menu item related to review setups will be covered and includes the following:

In the beginning, only the Details menu item is accessible when creating a review setup. However, once you have adjusted and saved the review setup settings, the other menu items will become available.

Let's examine each menu item more closely.

The name, description, and configuration settings for the review setup can be edited on the Details screen.
