Concept: Employee Review Editors
Workday provides 3 editor options for employees to complete information in their employee
reviews:
- Guided Editoris a wizard that takes employees through sections 1 at a time.
- Summary Editorhas all sections on the same page.
- Guided Experienceis a wizard that enables employees to navigate between sections.
Guided Editor and Summary Editor
You can specify that users start in either
Guided Editor
or
Summary Editor
, or you can let them select the editor.
Users can switch editors at any time by clicking Guide Me
or
Summary
. They can also pause data entry to complete
later. You can specify that the employee review uses
Guided
Experience
as an alternative to Guided
Editor
. Unlike Guided Editor
, users can't switch
between Guided Experience
and Summary
Editor
. We plan to retire
Guided
Editor
and Summary Editor
for employee
reviews in a future release. Workday recommends that you use Guided
Experience
for a more streamlined employee review experience.Guided Experience
Guided Experience supports all template sections except:
- Career
- Responsibilities
If you create a template
using
Guided Experience
but include these unsupported
sections, you won't be able to launch the review.Guided Experience
provides functionality differences with
Guided Editor
and Summary
Editor
:- You can configure separate help text targeted specifically for workers and managers.
- When configured, Workday displays a separateAcknowledgmentsection after theSummaryorReviewsections, whileGuided Editordisplays employee and manager acknowledgment steps before other steps.
- Guided Experiencesupports hiding section ratings and weightings inAccomplishments,Competencies,Goals, andQuestionssections.
- TheCompetenciesandFeedbacksections provide a grid format to users not supported inGuided EditorandSummary Editor.
- Workday doesn't supportGuided Experienceon the Workday mobile app.
