Print an Appraisal

If you have access to edit appraisal print options, you can choose the sections that are included on the Print View screen (Step 2), in PDF Format, and when printed to hard copy.

Appraisal users must have certain features enabled before they can create and/or modify default print settings for the organization, or define and save their own default print settings in Step 1 of the Print Appraisal Workflow:

  • Global Print View Configuration: This feature must be enabled for a group to have access to configure a default print configuration for the organization (Administration » Features » Performance » Appraisals » Global Print View Configuration). If the sub-feature, Lock Configuration is enabled (Administration » Features » Performance » Appraisals » Appraisal Administration » Lock Configuration), then users in the group will not be able to override the default print configuration.
  • Users Print View Configuration: This feature (Administration » Features » Performance » Appraisals » Users Print View Configuration) must be enabled.
    Note: When setting print options, be aware that for each phase of the appraisal process – Planning, Performance, Assessment, and Review – the Print Appraisal screen lists all of the sections that are available for inclusion. If a section is not relevant for a particular phase, N/A displays.
