Management notes provide a flexible option for adding text-based notes to an employee's file. This feature also enables you to edit or delete these notes as needed. While the Performance Review feature  displays specific details of an employee's performance review, such as completion state, progress status, and start and end dates. A Filter feature is also available, enabling you to customise the visibility of reviews based on specific time periods.

Important

Managers cannot see management notes unless they have been added to a custom security group and allocated access to that area. If the employee's manager changes, the new manager will see the previous notes left on the employee’s file.
