Defining Review Components

Periodic and annual reviews include one or more review components. Examples of review components include employee objectives, shared objectives (such as company-wide core values), and skills assessments.

You can define review components using the Review Components view. After review components are defined, the components are associated with review definitions and are accessible to users during the objectives and review processes. You can also translate review component display names, such as tabs, into other languages.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Objectives and Reviews.

Translating Review Component Display Names

You can use the Display Translation view to translate review component display names, such as tabs, into other languages. This feature is useful when Siebel Objectives and Reviews is deployed within a multilingual environment. If the display translation is defined, end users who access the application with a foreign language pack see a translated display name for the tab. If the display translation is not defined for a user's language pack, the Default Display from the review component definition appears.

To define display translations

1. Navigate to the Administration - Performance Management screen > Review Configuration view.
2. From the visibility filters, select Review Components.
3. In the Review Components list select the review component, and then click the Display Translation view tab.
4. In the Display Translation list, add a record.
5. Select the language, and enter the translated text for the review component display name in the Display field.
