Concept: Employee Review Editors

Workday provides 3 editor options for employees to complete information in their employee reviews:
  • Guided Editor
    is a wizard that takes employees through sections 1 at a time.
  • Summary Editor
    has all sections on the same page.
  • Guided Experience
    is 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 separate
    Acknowledgment
    section after the
    Summary
    or
    Review
    sections, while
    Guided Editor
    displays employee and manager acknowledgment steps before other steps.
  • Guided Experience
    supports hiding section ratings and weightings in
    Accomplishments,
    Competencies
    ,
    Goals
    , and
    Questions
    sections.
  • The
    Competencies
    and
    Feedback
    sections provide a grid format to users not supported in
    Guided Editor
    and
    Summary Editor
    .
  • Workday doesn't support
    Guided Experience
    on the Workday mobile app.
