Overview 

There are three (3) different ways that you can handle closing a review and opening the next cycle review. If you are going off the anniversary date, options 1 or 2 will be the best choice. If you are going off of the review date and need to update reviews in bulk, then Bulk Updates (Option 3) is the best choice.   

Option 1  

Review close-out through the Employee Screen

1. Verify Employee Setup
2. Close the previous review
3. Create the next review 
   • Check Review for accuracy (dates, milestones, and factors)

Option 2

Review close-out through the Manage Review Screen

1. Verify Employee Setup
2. Close the previous review
3. Create the next review

Option 3

Review close-out through Bulk Updates. This is only recommended when you have many reviews, in order to make the process worth the wait.
