This topic explains how to use the Configure Print Options for Printable page. This page appears when managers or workers click the Print column icon in the Appraisals In Progress and Completed Appraisals tables in Main Appraiser and My Appraisals page. Use this page to print appraisals in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
Managers and workers can use this page to select form layout or table layout as print output and select required sections of the appraisal to print. Within the required sections, they have the option to further select specific information to be printed. The application checks whether the Competency Template, Objective Template and Questionnaire Template are attached to the Appraisal Template when loading this page. In case any region is not attached, then that region will not appear in the page Configure Print Options for Printable Page. In addition, while loading the page for a worker, the application checks for the permissions available to the worker and the permitted options will be displayed in the options page. Permissions are granted by the manager for Questionnaire Information, Objective Ratings, Competency Ratings, Participant Ratings, Participant Names and Participant Details while sharing the appraisal with the worker.
You can select any one of the following layout options:
Form Layout: Presents objectives and competency details in continuous text format.
Table Layout: Presents objectives and competency details in a tabular format.
The appraisal sections that you can view are based on the appraisal template attached to the appraisal. The following is a list of sections that the application provides by default:
Include Setup Details
Include Competency Details
When you print appraisals, if the star rating component is in use, then the proficiency and performance rating scales in the Competencies region of appraisals display star ratings. See: Using Star Ratings to Rate Performance and Proficiency Levels
Include Objective Details
Include Questionnaire
Include Advancement Potential (only for Main Appraiser)
Include Learning Path
When you select Competency Details, Objective Details, or Include Questionnaire check boxes, you can further select specific details or fields in these regions that you would like to print. You can view the description of each of the selected fields that you would like to print. From the Available Details column move the competency and objective details to the Selected Details column to print in the appraisal.
The application generates a print version of the appraisal in the Adobe Acrobat PDF version when you click Print. You can open the printed appraisal or save it to your local machine.
