Set Up Calibration nBox Reports

Set Up Calibration nBox Reports

  • Create the Calibration nBox report.
  • Security:
    Custom Report Administration
    domain in the System functional area.
The calibration values you map onto an nBox report determine the report fields that Workday updates after calibration is complete. You can:
  • Map tenanted calibration values to the nBox grid.
  • Define box labels.
  • Add help text to guide managers with employee placement during the calibration activity.
Example:
  • The
    Calibration: Potential
    value updates the
    Potential
    field.
  • The
    Calibration: Talent Based Performance Rating
    value updates the
    Talent Matrix Review Rating
    field.
Complete these steps for every nBox report you use for calibration.
  1. Access the
    Set Up nBox Report
    task.
  2. Select the calibration nBox report you want to configure.
    Don't use nBox reports referenced in ongoing calibration events. Instead, Workday recommends that you create a new calibration program and link it to a new nBox report with the updated calibration values.
  3. In the
    Define the Rows
    and
    Define the Columns
    sections, add labels and map calibration values.
    If an nBox report is used in a completed or in-progress calibration event, don’t change the values in the
    Define the Rows
    and
    Define the Columns
    sections.
    In the
    Source Value
    , map a single field value in your Workday tenant to each column and row in the grid. The source field is the
    Group By Field
    that you selected for rows in the calibration nBox report definition. The
    Source Value
    represents the final value that writes back to the worker after Calibration is completed.
  4. (Optional) Click
    Continue
    and define box names and help text for the calibration nBox report.
    Each row represents a box in the nBox grid with the row and column mappings shown. Each box is labeled with the
    Box Name
    and displays the
    Help Text
    when you hover over the label.
