Overview
Your performance sheet is where you define and document your performance commitments for the cycle. Depending on your organization's configuration, you may be asked to fill in one or more of the following:
Goals — what you aim to achieve this cycle
Competencies — the weights you assign to each competency area (if self-weighting is enabled)
KPIs — specific measurable indicators tied to your goals
Training Needs — development activities that will support your performance
Your admin controls which sections appear and whether each is required or optional.
How to Open Your Performance Sheet
When your performance sheet is ready for you to fill in, a task appears in Things To Do on your dashboard.
On your dashboard, find the task in the Things To Do section it will indicate that your performance sheet is open for input.
Click the task to open your sheet directly.
Your sheet opens in a multi-tab view. Each tab corresponds to a section of the sheet.
Adding Goals
In the Goals section of your sheet, click Add Goal to open the goal form. Fill in the fields:
Goal Title — a short name for the goal
Description — what you will do and how you will measure success
Weight — the percentage this goal contributes to your overall score (all goal weights must sum to 100%)
Due Date — the target completion date
Linking to a Department or Division Goal
If your admin has enabled parent goal alignment, a goal picker field appears in the form. Click it to browse department or division goals and select the one your goal aligns with. Linking shows your manager how your individual work connects to the broader organizational target.
If this field is not visible, parent goal alignment has not been enabled for your cycle.

KPI Fields
If your admin has enabled KPIs for goals, KPI input fields appear directly in the goal form — you do not need to add them manually. Fill in each KPI as shown:
Title — what is being measured (e.g., "Customer Satisfaction Score")
Measurement — for numerical KPIs, select the unit from: Percentage, Currency, or Number
Target Value — the number you aim to reach by end of cycle
If no KPI fields appear, your admin has not enabled them for this cycle.
Editing or Deleting a Goal
To edit a goal, click the edit icon on it. Update any fields or KPI values and save. To delete, click the delete icon and confirm. You can only delete goals you created, and only before the sheet is locked or submitted.
Competencies Section
If your admin has enabled competency input, a Competencies section appears on your sheet alongside Goals and Training Needs it is not a separate tab.
Each competency is shown as a collapsed row. Click a competency to expand it and fill in what your admin has enabled:
Weight — the percentage this competency contributes to your overall score. All competency weights must sum to 100%.
KPI — a text-based description of how you will demonstrate this competency (if enabled by admin).
Work through each competency, expand and fill in the required fields, and continue. There is no Save button per competency everything is saved when you submit the sheet.
If the Competencies section is not visible, your admin has either pre-assigned values or excluded this section from the employee step.

What Happens After Submission
If Approval Is Required
Your admin may have configured an approval step. In this case:
After you submit, your sheet enters Pending Approval status.
Your manager reviews your submitted goals, weights, and training needs.
They may Approve the sheet as-is, or Send Back with comments asking you to revise.
If sent back:
You receive a notification and the sheet reappears in your Things To Do.
Review the manager's comments.
Make the requested changes.
Resubmit.
If No Approval Step
Your sheet moves directly to the active state after submission. Goals and KPIs are locked and the cycle tracking begins.
FAQ
My goal weights do not add up to 100%. Can I still submit?
My goal weights do not add up to 100%. Can I still submit?
No. The sheet validates total goal weight before submission. You must adjust your goal weights so they sum exactly to 100% before the Submit button activates.
Can I edit my goals after submitting?
Can I edit my goals after submitting?
Only if your manager sends the sheet back for revision, or if the admin re-opens the submission window. Once approved or locked, goals cannot be edited.
