Rating Tips are automatically added to any goal that uses the "Scale" score type. Rating tips provide further explanation of measuring the completion of a goal. For example, a rating tip for a goal may help a manager determine the most fair scale value to attribute to an employee for a goal on an appraisal.

When adding a Scale score type to an appraisal, the goal will use the scale defined by the performance workflow.

  • Deactivate/Activate: Select this option to toggle the goal between a state of Active or Deactivated. When a goal is deactivated, it is no longer available for selection on appraisals.
