Step 3: Choose Copy From an Existing Review as the review type at the top of the page, and choose the performance review template that you want to copy. Give your new performance review a title (a URL slug will be auto-generated), optional Description, optional Thank You text, and Start and End Dates. The information from the copied performance review template will populate, but you can update it for the new performance review.

Please note: The Review End Date will not automatically shut off a performance review. The end date will serve as a guideline for users on the date they should finish their performance reviews.

Step 4: Choose if you want to only allow performance review access to users in specific groups. To do this, select the Specific Groups radio button under Review Participants. Select your group and then select Add.

Next choose if you want to allow external reviewers so anyone outside of Teamphoria can give feedback. To do this, toggle ON Allow External Reviewers.

You also have the option to have the internal reviewers be anonymous. Names will not be tied to responses, but will show Manager, Peer 1, Peer 2, etc.

Step 7: On the performance review overview page you can preview your performance review, edit your performance review, and enable your performance review. We strongly recommend keeping this turned off while you’re setting up questions on your performance review template so users don’t have access while you’re editing.
