Defining a Scale

A scale provides a way of evaluating or grading user's performance in an activity. It is defined by an ordered list of values, ranging from negative to positive, separated by commas, for example "Disappointing, Not good enough, Average, Good, Very good, Excellent!"

Step-by-step guide

To review or modify an existing scale:

1. Go to Performance Appraisal System > Define scales
2. Click on the settings icon next to the "Performance Appraisal" scale.

To create a new scale:

1. Go to Performance Appraisal System > Define scales
2. Click on the "Add a new scale button"
3. Fill out the form. You can click on the ? icons next to field names if you need help understanding what should go in each field.
4. Click on the "Save changes" button at the bottom of the form.

Important Notes

• If a scale is already in use, you cannot modify it.
• If the scale is not being used, you can modify it. However, we recommend that you create a new scale if you prefer not to use the default scale provided with the system.
• The scale is defined by an ordered list of values, ranging from negative to positive, separated by commas, for example "Disappointing, Not good enough, Average, Good, Very good, Excellent!"
