Considerations for Configuring Anytime Feedback Visibility Options

You can configure feedback visibility options and default options to specify who can see feedback.

Use the Manage Feedback Visibility task in the Setup and Maintenance work area, Workforce Deployment (or Workforce Development) offering, Workforce Profiles functional area.

Note: You must have the Manage Feedback Visibility functional privilege to access this configuration task.

Feedback Context

You can set feedback for the following contexts:

ORA_NO_CONTEXT: Used for feedback notes for a person in the person spotlight, person smart navigation, and elsewhere throughout Oracle Fusion applications.
ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE: Used for feedback notes only for talent review meetings. Notes created in a talent review are visible as Feedback elsewhere in Oracle Fusion applications, but no Feedback created elsewhere appears in talent review meetings.
ORA_CELEBRATION_TYPE: Used for configuring visibility settings for the Celebrations feature in Oracle Fusion Cloud Touchpoints. When an employee or manager sends a celebration card to others using Touchpoints, they can choose from one of the visibility settings available for this context type: Managers and worker, and Only worker and me.

Visibility Options and Defaults

Select roles to make them eligible to view feedback. Users can select the roles when they create feedback so that the roles can view it. All settings are available unless you deselect them.

The options and descriptions for each visibility option are shown in the table.

Visibility Option	Description
Everyone	A public note visible to any person in the organization.
Managers only	Visible to only the managers in the hierarchy of the worker for whom the feedback is created. Visible to HR specialists as well.
Managers and worker	Visible to managers in the hierarchy of the worker, and the worker who receives the feedback. Visible to HR specialists as well.
Managers, peers, and worker	Visible to managers in the hierarchy of the worker, and the worker who receives the feedback. Also visible to peers of the worker who report to the same manager as the feedback recipient in one or more active or suspended assignments. Visible to HR specialists as well.
Only me	A private note created by an author about themselves or about another person and is visible only to the author.
Only worker and me	A private note created by an author about the worker and is visible only to the worker and the author.

Note: For peers to view notes that have the Managers, peers, and worker feedback visibility option, they need to have the View HCM Person Note Shared with Peers data privilege.

HR specialists can view all feedback except those with these visibility settings:

Only me
Only worker and me

Note: Feedback visibility is also determined by data security; you can only create or see notes for people whom you have authorization to view.

Defaults

You can edit the default value that appears in the Visibility choice list when a person creates feedback. If you select the No default option, no predefined option appears in the field. Users can select the available options whether a default is set or not. Default settings for the contexts are as follows:

ORA_NO_CONTEXT: No default
ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE: Managers only
ORA_CELEBRATION_TYPE: Managers and worker

If you don't edit the visibility options or defaults, the default settings apply.

Deleted Context Settings

If you delete context settings, users can still add and view feedback, but you can no longer edit the context settings. When you delete feedback context settings, the following rules apply:

If you delete only ORA_NO_CONTEXT, the predefined default values for ORA_NO_CONTEXT applies for the person feedback. All visibility options are available, and the default setting is No default.
If you delete only ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE, the ORA_NO_CONTEXT settings apply for both the person feedback and talent review feedback.
If you delete both ORA_NO_CONTEXT and ORA_TALENT_REVIEW_TYPE, the predefined default values for ORA_NO_CONTEXT apply for both the person feedback and talent review feedback.
