  5. Tasks (Action Required) - All performance management tasks throughout the performance cycle will show up in this section (Planning, Coaching, Evaluation). All items that appear here should require your immediate attention for sign-off and completion.


Profile & Snapshot

The Profile & Snapshot page is a way to quickly access your org chart, performance plan, and previous reviews for yourself or employees whom report to you.

  • To access the Profile & Snapshot page, click on the Profile & Snapshot tile from the homepage.


Profile & Snapshot: Bio Page

On the Bio page, you will see:

  • Your job information

  • An org chart that shows your reporting hierarchy.

  • Supervisors can select the View Team button to view information for team members

  • You can also navigate to other user’s Bio pages by click their name in the reporting hierarchy.


Profile & Snapshot: Snapshot Page

Click the Snapshot tab at the top of the page to easily access your Performance Plan, completed task PDFs, or uploaded documents. Supervisors can select the View Team button to see information for their employees.

The documents tile on the Snapshot page will not show any documents attached to individual goals or attachments on performance reviews. Those documents can be found within the goal or task to which those documents are attached.

Additionally, you can view the Profile for any employee on campus through the Search Bar in the upper right corner. Note that you will limited information for anyone not in your reporting downline. For employees in your reporting downline, you will also be able to view their Snapshot page.

As a supervisor or manager, if you need to view Performance Plans or Performance Review Tasks for indirect reports, we recommend using the search option to find the employee and then accessing their Plan or Task via the Snapshot.
