Share with Employee or Share with Manager

Click to share your comments with the employee if you are in the manager role, or share your comments with the manager if you are in the employee role. The label of this button changes based on your user role.

The system sends an email to the other party about the comments that you would like him or her to review. When this button is clicked and the sharing is confirmed, the system moves the review process to the next step, Review with Employee or Review Manager Comments (or Review with Manager is some cases), depending on the role of the user who is currently viewing the page. The page title shows the updated action if the concatenate page title option is enabled.

Stop Sharing

Click to stop sharing comments with the other party.

This button appears when the manager currently shares comments with the employee, or the employee currently shares comments with the manager.

Complete Checkpoint

Click to complete this checkpoint.

Typically, after the manager has met with the employee to go through the review progress, the Checkpoint step can be marked as completed.

Enter section and item comments as permitted by the system to track employee progress. The options to enter comments for sections and items, as well as adding, updating, deleting, and copying items in the Checkpoint step are controlled by the template that is associated with the document.
