  11. Choose Save.

Rater List Section

The Rater List section defines who will be populated on the form as raters by default. Raters are all populated based on roles, which means no matter who this form is launched for, that user’s manager, peers, and direct reports will correctly populate off the hierarchy that is configured in the User Data File. The following information defines the fields when adding a new role to the rater list:

  • Rater Category Name: These labels can be edited and are seen by the user when they are selecting or editing their participant list before soliciting feedback.

  • Auto include in form: Select the checkbox for the role/s you would like the system to automatically select as participants for the review. If a category is not marked, a role does not have to be defined.

  • Role: Roles are assigned to employees when they are added to SAP SuccessFactors. Once launched, 360 Reviews will use roles assigned to employees to determine who to invite to provide feedback about the employee.

  • Do not allow user to remove: Select this box to force users to select the category. If the box is not selected, users have the option to remove the category of participants from their review form.

New Rater Categories can be added as needed and select from the available roles in the drop-down options.

Screenshot, the Add a New Rater Category button is added and the roles available in the dropdown list are displayed.

The form follows a route map where the employee selects raters, then sends to the manager for approval. Here, the employee can modify the participants and add additional raters if desired. The route map may be changed if a different process of electing raters is desired.

This screenshot displays a list of raters that can be modified.
