How You Set up Writing Assistant for Performance Documents

Set up the Writing Assistant feature to assist managers in writing useful comments in the performance documents of workers during a performance evaluation.

The Writing Assistant provides suggestions that are associated with competencies and their correlated proficiency levels to managers. The suggestions help managers describe observed worker actions, and those workers aspire to perform.

To set up the Writing Assistant, you must:

  • Create the Profile Content section

  • Upload development tips and feedback

Writing Assistant is available only for the Profile Content section type you configure for competencies.

Create the Profile Content Section

To set up the Writing Assistant, you must create and configure a Profile Content section for competencies. You create the Profile Content section using the Performance Template Section or the Performance Template tasks in the Setup and Maintenance work areas.

Select the Enable writing assistant for manager option in the Section Content section of the Create Performance Template Section page to make it available in the performance document.

The Writing Assistant provides suggestions only for competencies and their respective proficiency levels. If you set up the competencies section to use both proficiency levels and performance ratings, the Writing Assistant provides suggestions only for the selected proficiency levels. If you set up the section to use only performance ratings, Writing Assistant displays only development tips associated with the selected competency.

Upload Development Tips and Feedback

To use the Writing Assistant, you must also upload development tips and feedback suggestions for competencies using a spreadsheet loader. You upload development tips and feedback suggestions on the Item Catalogs page for competencies in the Oracle Fusion Profile Management business process.
