Appraiser notes
While you are viewing a Clinician'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 notes | Shared 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 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 your appraisee can read them when editing their evidence. Once the appraisal is completed anyone with the correct permissions (some Administrators, future Appraisers etc) will be able to view these notes. |
