10. For each section:

11. Go to the relevant tab (e.g., Goals or Competencies).

12. Select the desired timeframe.

13. Assign the reviewer(s) responsible.

14. Under Ratings Type, select Potential to allow evaluation of the employee’s future capability in that area.

16. Choose the timeframe (e.g., Q2 2025).

17. Assign the reviewer.

18. Set the response type as required.

19. From the Ratings Type dropdown, select Potential.

    

20. Click Save as draft or Next to proceed to set the rest of review form.

Notes & Tips

Note: For an existing cycle, you can only configure the potential review before it is launched.

Enabling potential ratings allows a more comprehensive and future-focused performance review. It helps identify high-potential employees for promotions, training, or leadership roles—making your performance evaluation process more strategic and actionable.
