Appraiser notes

While you are viewing an appraisee's appraisal you can make notes on certain items by using the Appraiser Notes function. You can use Appraiser Notes to make personal annotations and share notes, tips and advice with your Appraisee.

Private notesShared notes

These notes are personal to you. You should use them to make personal annotations when reviewing the appraisal evidence.

Nothing you write as a Private Note will be visible to anyone else in the appraisal process, even after the appraisal is completed.

These notes are visible to your appraisee at all times. As soon as you add the note, it is published to the appraisee so they can read it and begin preparing to make any necessary changes

If you revert the appraisal status to "entering evidence", the notes will stay visible so the appraisee can read them when editing their evidence.

Once the appraisal is completed anyone with the correct permissions (some Administrators, the Responsible Officer, future Appraisers etc) will be able to view these notes.

You can add a note to a whole section of the appraisal or against individual items.

Post appraisal (ORSA) feedback

Once you have completed the appraisal, your Organisation may require you to complete a feedback questionnaire to allow them to adjust their appraisal process according to the thoughts of their members.   

If ORSA questionnaires have been enabled by your organisation you will be prompted to complete it after signing off the appraisal.

The questions focus on:

  • How long the appraisal took
  • the organisation systems and support
  • Your skills as an Appraiser

Choose an answer for each question and click Image Added

There are four pages to complete. Once you have answered all of the questions, click Image Added.

Click here to see the questions you will be asked.
