Authoring and submission of 360 Review Forms 

Once a nominated 360 reviewer has been assigned a form and, if applicable, that request has been approved by the subject's manager or an administrator, that form will appear on the list of review forms they need to author, and those forms are authored and submitted like any other review form. Once submitted and optionally signed, the form and its captured information are available for viewing and use across the PerformYard application like any other review forms, including within Reporting & Analytics.
