Before creating the Appraisal Batch, you need to setup who would assess the staff Appraisal first. There are two ways to set up Appraiser to Employees
Manually - One by One
Importing - In Batch
► Manually
Go to "Staff" -> "Placement" -> Relationship section -> Add New
Input the Placement and enable "Appraiser"
Save
Approval sequence is the order for assessing the Appraisal, e.g: 1 for the first Appraiser, 2 for the second Appraiser and so on......
If there is only one Appraiser for this placement, set 1 at the approval sequence
If there are two Appraisers for this placement, and the Appraisal can be assessed by either of them, set 1 at the approval sequence for both Appraisers
If there are two Appraisers for this placement, and the Appraisal needs to be assessed by two Appraisers with a fixed order, set 1 at the approval sequence for the first Appraiser, and 2 for the second Appraiser.
► Importing
Go to "Staff" -> "Placement" -> Export
Open the file -> Go to the sheet "Supervisor" -> Follow the format and fill in the information
Delete other excel sheets if you do not update other information
Columns "AssociateName" and "SupervisorName" can be deleted
SupervisorType should be "Appraiser"
The supervisor can be bulk deleted through importing by putting "Y" in the column "Delete"
Import the file by going to Placement
Tips:
Add one approver manually as a sample before exporting the template file, so you can follow the existing cell formats for importing!
