Building Performance Review Canvas

Reviews and SHaRe Canvases

Performance review canvases are just like standard canvases with additional performance related items. When designing performance review canvases users are able to create merge points for skills, goals, values and behaviours. When performance review form is being completed those items will automatically be merged into those areas. This section will only describe performance related options. You can find more information about building standard canvases here.

Role Based Access

Non-Team Dashboards System

Every participant in a Performance Review belongs to one of three roles: Employee, Manager, or Peer. By default, it is assumed that all participants will interact with every item on the canvas regardless of their role, but that is not necessarily always correct: for example, a question on a review form might be addressed to only one of those participants, and not be intended to be answered by the others. To accommodate that, Performance canvas items have additional settings that can be used to restrict their access to only the relevant roles:

• Who Will [See/Answer] This [Item]: Restricts visibility of the item to only the selected roles. Any other participants will not see the item, nor anyone else’s answers to it, on their own copies of the form. Any combination of the three roles can be selected. The default value is “Everyone”.

• Who Will Answer This Question: For question items only. Restricts the ability to answer the question to only the selected roles. Other participants that can see the question will still be able to see others’ answers to it if the Review Cycle settings permit, but will not be able to answer it themselves. Only a valid subset of the roles with visibility access may be selected. The default value is “(same as above)”, which means that anyone who will see the question will also answer it.

Performance Items Overview

There are four additional item types available in performance review canvases: skills, goals, values and behaviours. Each one of those items is managed against individual employees. The options that get merged into performance canvases will change overtime based on goal completion, change of jobs or company strategy. Creating placeholders for performance items ensures that canvases stay dynamic and do not require constant updating by users. Sections below describe each item in more details.
