Creating Target Agreement Requests

Introduction

After target agreement profiles have been generated, the process of creating review requests can be done immediately at the target agreement profiles generation screen. Otherwise, you can wait for the background job to be completed to generate the requests automatically.

Alternatively, the HR personnel can monitor the activity of the profiles and perform the operation of processing requests manually at the target agreement requests generation screen, which will be discussed in this document.

This functionality enables you to display the people that are linked to target agreement profiles and create requests to the reviewer via workflow. A target agreement request is a workflow request used for the following purposes:

  • to request the reviewer to set the targets of a target agreement profile with a person and approve it,
  • to request a person to complete the approved target agreement profile by agreeing with the set targets,
  • to request the reviewer to review the person based on the completed target agreement profile, and
  • to request the relevant personnel (for example, HR personnel) to complete the reviewed target agreement profile.

Apart from that, you can also monitor the status of each target agreement profile from this screen.
