Categories and questions
Appraisals consist of categories and questions.
- Categories: These are the blocks where questions are contained. An appraisal may have multiple categories.

- Questions: can be assigned to different categories and set as 'text', 'select', 'file', or 'rating' responses. Select fields require trainees to choose from multiple options, while file fields allow trainees to download provided files and upload their own for review.


Rating an appraisal
After finishing, both learners and managers can see an overall rating for an appraisal. The system calculates an average rating per category and appraisal. This rating updates dynamically and is rounded to the nearest whole value.
These ratings are visible on the appraisal itself and within appraisal reports, subject to sign-off permissions.
