When building a performance appraisal form, it is possible to display and format key dates in a static block on the form, like the date the employee or their supervisor completed the form.

Step-by-step Guide

To display and format the date the employee completed the form:

  1. Go to Performance Appraisal System > Manage Forms

  2. Click on the Edit icon next to the form in question

  3. In the "Form" section, add a "Static" block or edit an existing block

  4. Enter the following in the static block wherever you want the first / last name to appear: {{#appraisal.employeecompleted}}{{#userdate}}{{appraisal.employeecompleted}}, {{#str}}strftimedaydatetime, langconfig{{/str}}{{/userdate}}{{/appraisal.employeecompleted}}

  5. Click on the "Update" button to save your changes in the static block

  6. Click on the "Save" button to save the form in its entirety

Important Notes

  • The above code would produce a result that looks as follows: Thursday, 14 October 2021, 10:01 PM

  • The example above displays when the employee completed the form. If instead you want to display when the supervisor completed the form, you can use the following: {{#appraisal.managercompleted}}{{#userdate}}{{appraisal.managercompleted}}, {{#str}}strftimedaydatetime, langconfig{{/str}}{{/userdate}}{{/appraisal.managercompleted}}
