Advantages of using ePerformance• Everything is stored in one place and makes reporting
easier

Challenges of using ePerformance, cont.• Timing out- Employees do not save often enough and
lose data
• Leaders acceptance of having to do document maintenance (transfers, cancellations, deletes)
• Limited character space (changing with Tools 8.53)

Challenges of using ePerformance, cont.• After completing the Establish Evaluation Criteria and
the employee starts the Self Evaluation, they realize they need to change an objective or dimension
• Educating employees to only have one document per year
• Want to implement mid-year evaluations
QuestDirect.org
Customizations• Review process “Approval
Before EE Review Held” modified to remove the step “Mark Review Held.”
• Removed Leaders ability to override the employee acknowledgement.
QuestDirect.org
Customizations• Transfers caused approval issues, so we created a customization to allow
administrators to transfer a document to someone else (prior leader )for approval.
QuestDirect.org
Customizations• On Save, customized
PeopleCode to evaluate practically every field for special characters that were copied and pasted from Word documents.
QuestDirect.org
Questions and Talking Points• We allow each Business Unit to have
their own document types so they can create templates specific to their units. How do you use the Document Types?
• Has anyone used the alternate user ID or reassign work feature for leaders who are out of the office for extended periods of time?
