Common Elements Used to Set Up Advisor Tools

Field or Control	Description
Language Checker	Evaluators use the Language Checker tool during the track progress process (if enabled) and the evaluation process to identify words or phrases in a performance document that an organization deems objectionable and to view suggested alternatives. The system checks all Comments text boxes for inappropriate content. You can manually define content for the Language Checker tool, or you can import data from a third-party vendor. Note: To enable the Language Checker tool, select the Language Checker check box on the Template Definition - General page.
Results Writer	Evaluators use the Results Writer tool to select predefined statements that describe an employee's level of proficiency in a particular competency or sub-competency. Managers can use this tool by clicking a Writing Tools link that appears in the comments box at the item or section level on the evaluation. For example: Bob's initiative is very impressive. He does not wait to be told what to do. His energy sets an example for the rest of the team. When you define competencies and sub-competencies, you can use the Results Writer page of the Competency and Sub-Competency components to enter the statements from which managers can select when they use writing tools. You can also import this content from third-party suppliers.
Development Tips	Development tips suggest ways for employees to improve, develop, or use a competency or sub-competency based on their current rating level. If you use ePerformance and have implemented this feature, the system displays the appropriate set of tips when you click the Writing Tool link on an evaluation.
