Section Ratings and Weighting

You can determine whether you want to enable section ratings, comments, or both for the sections that you create.

When you enable section ratings and comments, managers, workers, and participants can select a rating for the section and provide comments. If configured, they can also rate the section separately from the individual content items contained within the section.

Managers, workers, participants, and matrix managers can use calculated ratings as a guide to manually select their ratings. For the profile content, performance goals, and development goals sections, ratings are calculated based on ratings on individual items in the section. For the overall summary section, the section ratings from the profile content, performance goals, and development goals sections are used.

You can select to weight a section, or items in a section to place more or less importance on the section or item. The weights are then used to calculate section and overall ratings.

If you have multiple competency sections, you can configure them differently to determine who sees it and whether it’s rated. If you have additional competency sections which are rated, then those are considered in the overall rating if it's calculated, and their weights, if configured.
