SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management

• The Get Feedback button can be configured to just allow the user that the form is sent to add comments (get-comments) or to allow the user to add comments and ratings (get-edits).
• The functionality of the button is controlled by enabling and disabling the checkboxes on the Form Template Settings page.

Go to Admin Center > Form Template Settings > Select the Template:

• Disable Ask For Comment Routing    
• Disable Ask For Edit Routing

Applies to following templates: Performance, Compensation, Succession, Job Requisition

Disable Ask for Edit Routing (Get Feedback)

• No longer allows users to add users from outside the established approval chain to the routing map during the Modification stage of the routing process.
• When you select this option, you are turning off this feature for this form.
• By default, this option is turned on (option is NOT checked), and users can select other users who they want included in the approval process, and have the form routed to these added users.
• In the Get Feedback confirmation page, user will be prompted with "You are about to send this form to [Recipient's name] to ask for edits."
• Additional Information: Ask for Edit Routing
• will put copy of form in the folders of the additional commenter(s)
• allows comments and ratings to be added, as expected
• allows for edits such as removing goals

Disable Ask for Comment Routing

• No longer allows users to route forms for comments only.
• When you select this option, you are turning off this feature for this form.
• By default, this option is turned on (option is NOT checked), and users can route the form to others to get comments without allowing those users to change anything else on the form, such as ratings.
• In the Get Feedback confirmation page, user will be prompted with "You are about to send this form to [Recipient's name] to ask for comments."
• Additional information: Ask for Comment Routing
• will not put copy of form in folders of the additional commenter(s)
• allows comments to be added, as expected
• does not allow any rating from the commenter

Change Timing

• When you change these options via admin tools they apply immediately to existing forms.
• When both options are turned off, the Get Feedback button will no longer be visible in the form.
• When both options are turned on, users will have the option to either ask for Comments or Edits in the Get Feedback confirmation page after selecting the user they want to send the form to.

When you use Get Feedback these are the expected behaviors:

• Commenter name is displayed next to any text he/she writes. Do not confuse with anonymous 360s.
• All ratings and comments in place will be seen by commenter unless the section is hidden. Consider when you want to make feedback request.
• Rating option 3 (used for split comments) in the form XML does not allow the commenter to enter ratings, only comments.
• Rating option 2 (rating displayed next to each commenter) in the form XML does allow the commenter to enter ratings as well as comments.
• The Get Feedback Functionality is not available when form is at the Collaborative Step.

Button Permission

The button can also be permissioned to be visible to only certain people and only at certain steps if needed.

1. Go to Admin Center > Manage Templates > General Settings > Show advanced options > Button Permissions.
2. Then either set permission to None or Enabled for buttons Get Comments and Get Edits.

Recall a form that is out to get feedback

• When you select Get Feedback, a new window opens in which you search for, select, and confirm the name of the person from whom you want to get feedback.
• You can recall the form when it is out for feedback without having to go through an administrator.

1. Go to your En Route folder and select the form.
2. At the bottom, click Recall Feedback.

Email Notification to the Feedback Provider when the form has been recalled 

• Currently, this is the expected behavior of the system wherein the Feedback Provider will not receive any email notification when a form is recalled to his/her Inbox.
• If you wish to see this feature added to the product please create an Enhancement Request.

Change Label of Get Feedback button within the form
