Configuring 360 feedback
For a 360 cycle: configure the cycle (nomination mode, min reviewers, anonymise floor), add nominations, and reviewers submit feedback. The subject sees an anonymised rollup post-acknowledgement.
Configure a 360 cycle
- Create a cycle with type=360 (see Creating a performance review cycle).
- Open the cycle detail page > 360° config tab.
- Set:
Config fields
- Nomination mode —
manager(admins/managers choose reviewers for each subject) oremployee_approve(employees nominate, manager approves) - Min peer reviewers — typically 3
- Min upward reviewers — typically 1 (direct manager)
- Anonymise-below — threshold below which feedback in a bucket (peer/upward/downward) is suppressed in the subject's rollup. Default 3 — protects identity when there are few reviewers in a relationship.
Add nominations
From the Nominations tab, add reviewer ↔ subject pairs:
- Peer — same level, cross-team
- Upward — the subject's reports
- Downward — the subject's manager (typically already on the main review)
- Self — auto-created when activating
For manager nomination mode, nominations auto-approve. For employee_approve, they enter as proposed and need manager approval.
Reviewers fill in
Approved nominations appear on the reviewer's My feedback > Incoming page. Reviewers fill in strengths, development areas, ratings (per cycle config), and an overall comment.
Subject rollup
After the subject acknowledges their manager review, the Feedback aggregate view shows:
- Counts by relationship (e.g. "3 peers, 1 upward")
- Average ratings per dimension with sample size
- Free-text comments (only from buckets ≥ anonymise-below)
Buckets below threshold are suppressed entirely — both ratings AND comments — to prevent triangulation back to individuals.
