Fluid ePeformance and Classic ePerformance support the same process for modifying evaluation criteria in the Define Criteria step. For more information about this step and what users can do, refer to the Understanding Evaluation Criteria Modification topic.
Despite the common functionality shared between the two versions, Fluid ePeformance behaves differently from Classic ePerformance in these areas:
Participant feedback.
In Fluid ePerformance, both the manager and the employee can view completed participant evaluations from the Add/Review Participants page when the View Evaluations option is enabled for their roles in the template setup.
In Classic ePerformance, users view completed participant evaluations from a link in the Review Participant Evaluations step.
In both Fluid and Classic ePerformance, the manager can view inline participant feedback from the document directly, if the Participant Feedback option is enabled in the Role Rules section of a document step in the template setup. Participant feedback can be available as early as the first document step, if participants are allowed to provide feedback at anytime.
Reopening the Define Criteria step.
A prior step can be reopened for updates as needed. If you move to the current step and have not made any changes, you can reopen the prior step from the More Actions menu that is located at the step level.
In Classic ePerformance, additional conditions are also considered.
Use the Performance Document page (EP_MAIN_DOC_B_FL) to add or update evaluation criteria for documents.
Navigation:
Select a document from the Define Criteria section of a document list (Team Documents, Delegated Documents, or My Documents).
This is an example of the Performance Document page in the Define Criteria step (1 of 2).

Note: The fields and controls that appear in a document is controlled by its template, which is highly configurable. The sample document used in this topic is for demonstration purposes only, and is likely to look different from your implementation.
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
![]() |
Displays the step of the review process that the document is currently in. Click the icon to expand the popup menu and view the overall progress of the document in the review process. The popup menu displays the list of steps available in the review process based on the associated template. The list provides a quick update of where you are in the review process. It shows the current step (name appears in bold font), previous steps that were done (Completed or Skipped), and remaining steps to be worked on (Not Started). You can select a previous step to view the last-updated and read-only version of the document in that step. Some actions are still available for you to drill down and view the content of the document, such as item details, ratings and comments, and notes. However, you can no longer edit the document. |
![]() |
Use the button to perform the primary action. The system performs validations on the page when you click the action button. The action button varies for users based on a number of factors, such as the step that the document is in and your role privileges specified in the template setup for that step. For example, if your role is configured to complete the Define Criteria step in the template setup, the Complete button appears when you open a document in that step. Sometimes an action button appears in white with colored border, which represents a secondary action in the step. For example, when it is time for the employee to acknowledge their document after the discussion with the manager, the system displays the Acknowledge button as a colored action button for the employee, and the Override Acknowledgement button as a white action button with colored border for the manager. It means that while the manager has the option to override the acknowledgement if needed, the primary action is for the employee to provide the acknowledgement. |
![]() |
Click to view the list of actions that are applicable to the current step and select an action to perform. The list of actions varies based on a few factors, such as the template setup, the current step of the document, and your user role. |
