View Rating Summary Page

EP_DISTRIB_SUM

View the preliminary, actual, and desired rating distributions for a group of employees and document type.

Rating Distribution Detail Page

EP_DISTRIB_DTL

View details for employees that fall into the selected rating category or point spread on the rating distribution bar chart.

The ratings distribution summary report is the most reliable if the documents for everyone in the ratings distribution group are no longer in the In Progress status, and that an overall summary rating was entered or calculated on all documents. Additionally, because the ratings distribution summary reports include preliminary ratings, you as the administrator should ensure that all preliminary ratings are entered by the managers.

Before you can view a rating distribution summary you must:

  • Define the desired rating distribution on the Setup Rating Distribution page.

  • Build the data collection from which the rating distribution is generated on the Create Summary Data page.

Use the View Rating Summary page (EP_DISTRIB_SUM) to view the preliminary, actual, and desired rating distributions for a group of employees and document type.

Calc Method (calculation method)

The method that is used to calculate ratings. Values are: Summary, Average, and Review Band.

Note: The document template defines the calculation method.

The date on which the document rating distribution data that appears on the page was last calculated.

Note: To calculate the data, you must run the Create Summary Data process.

Total Prelim Rated Documents (total preliminary rated documents)

The total number of documents for which preliminary ratings were defined.

Total Final Rated Documents

The total number of documents with final rating results.

Bar Chart Data

The information that the bar chart represents depends on the method that is used to calculate the overall ratings:

  • If the calculation method is Average or Review Band:

    • The vertical axis shows the percentage of completed documents.

    • The horizontal axis shows qualitative rating categories, for example: Company Maker or Exceeds Expectations.

  • If the calculation method is Summation:

    • The vertical axis shows the percentage of documents that fall into each point range that is defined on the Desired Rating Distribution page.

    • The horizontal axis shows each from and to point range that is defined on the Desired Rating Distribution page.

For both calculation methods, the bar chart compares preliminary, actual, and desired results. Preliminary results come from the Preliminary Ratings page; actual ratings come from the Manager Evaluation page; desired results come from the Desired Rating Distribution section of the Setup Rating Distribution page.

Click a preliminary or actual bar to access the Rating Distribution Detail Page, where you can view detailed information for the selected rating category or point spread. Selecting a desired bar does not take you to that page.

Use the Rating Distribution Detail page (EP_DISTRIB_DTL) to view details for employees that fall into the selected rating category or point spread on the rating distribution bar chart.
