Creating an assessment task

To add a task with the type of task Assessment, you need to go to the menu Leraning - Learning management - Tasks and click the Create button.

Next, the Add task page will open, where you must first select the Type - Assessment (1). Next, select the previously created Assessment (2) from the list, specify the Task title (3), if desired, add a Description (4).

The Add task page with the type - Assessment also has various individual settings.

(6) - Assigning mode - the way in which questionnaires will be assigned to tasks.
Available options:

manually - specifying the users to be evaluated and the users who will evaluate the manual process. The task author identifies all necessary users, creates questionnaires and defines roles.
assessment by functional managers
assessment by organizational structure- assigning users in automatic mode. The administrator should assign users for evaluation. The users to be evaluated are determined automatically by the links in the Organizational structure.

While choosing the Mode of assignment of questionnaires by Organizational structure or functional managers it is also necessary to specify Assessment collection method (7):

self-esteem
assessment is given by manager
assessment is given by colleagues (it is necessary specify the Number of users selected for the survey)
assessment is given by subordinates. (it is necessary to specify the Number of users selected for the survey)
assessment is given by randomly selected users. (it is necessary specify the Number of users selected for the survey).
For the mode of assessment by functional creators, only self-esteem and manager assessment are available.

The choice of Assigning mode determines the method of user assignment to the assessment task.

After saving the Assessment task, there are restrictions on changing the assignment mode. If the selected mode is manual, it will not be possible to change it after saving. If the assessment mode is selected by structure or functional managers, then after saving the task you can change it to the manual mode.

Setting up the questionnaire filling order by role

In some cases, a strict sequence in the assessment is required. As a rule, the employee should evaluate themselves first. And already, seeing how the employee evaluates themselves, their supervisor also conducts their own evaluation. This helps to assess the employee more accurately by comparing their self-esteem with reality.

On the task creation page, enable the Set up the order of filling out the questionnaire by roles option and specify the roles of employees who will participate in the survey in descending order.
To do this, click on the arrow (1) and select role from the list: self-esteem, manager, subordinate, colleague, employee.
To add a Role that will be next in line - click the Add more (3) button and again select the required Role from the drop-down list.
To delete an unnecessary role queue (In which role) - click the Remove(2) button

In some companies, employees have several managers. For example, a functional manager, a line manager, etc. You can add additional roles for managers, as well as configure the sequence in which they will fill in the questionnaires.

To do this, you need to:

Create Additional role for leaders. In the Additional roles for managers block, click on Add more, in the line that appears, enter the name of the new management position (for example, line manager). The Add additional management role is created. It will appear in the list of Roles.
Add an additional role for managers (e.g. line manager) to the order of filling out the questionnaire, through the list of roles (In which role) (1)
