The ratings distribution summary report is the most reliable if the documents for everyone in the ratings distribution group are no longer in the In Progress status, and that an overall summary rating was entered or calculated on all documents. Additionally, because the rating distribution reports include preliminary ratings, you should ensure that all preliminary ratings are entered.
Before you can view a rating distribution summary you must:
Define the desired rating distribution on the Setup Rating Distribution page.
Build the data collection from which the rating distribution is generated on the Create Summary Data page.
Use the View Rating Summary page (EP_DISTRIB_SUM) to view the preliminary, actual, and desired rating distributions for a group of employees and document type.

Bar Chart Data
The information that the bar chart represents depends on the method that is used to calculate the overall ratings:
If the calculation method is Average or Review Band:
The vertical axis shows the percentage of completed documents.
The horizontal axis shows qualitative rating categories, for example: Company Maker or Exceeds Expectations.
If the calculation method is Summation:
The vertical axis shows the percentage of documents that fall into each point range that is defined on the Desired Rating Distribution page.
The horizontal axis shows each from and to point range that is defined on the Desired Rating Distribution page.
For both calculation methods, the bar chart compares preliminary, actual, and desired results. Preliminary results come from the Preliminary Ratings page; actual ratings come from the Manager Evaluation page; desired results come from the Desired Rating Distribution Table page.
