    • The performance period creates the default start and end dates. Those dates are editable.
    • The statuses control the access to the review. The Not started status allows everyone to edit the review. The In progress status allows only the employee to view and edit the review. Ready for review allows only the manager to view and edit the review. Final review status allows both the employee and manager to view and edit the review if the Allow edit in final review option is selected in the review type. The Completed and Canceled statuses make the review read only. If a review is Rejected and sent back to the employee, both the employee and manager can make necessary edits so the employee can resubmit.
