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.
- Admins can view, edit, change access, and delete all management notes.
- Managers can only see management notes that have been shared with them based on their reporting line:
- Direct Managers see notes shared with direct managers.
- Indirect Managers see notes shared with indirect managers.
- Non-reporting line access allows those with management notes permissions to view the note (doesn’t include reporting employees).
