Configure 360 cycle settings (preview)
Although Manage Subjects appears first on the cycle page, we recommend setting up Cycle Settings first. There are five areas to set up. As you move through them, a filled blue circle confirms their completion.
There are three sections to configure:
- The Basics
- Feedback provider category settings and confidentiality
- Feedback provider response information
Select Save when you are done configuring the page.
Select up to six feedback provider categories.
- Standard categories automatically prepopulate feedback providers based on Manager Hierarchy.
- Remove the Direct Reports category for individual contributor (IC) subjects.
- Or ask IC subjects to skip adding feedback providers for the Direct Reports category for cycles with both managers and ICs.
Tip
Choose at least three feedback provider categories (in addition to Self) to ensure a true 360 view.
Feedback provider category | Minimum confidentiality threshold | Can subject or admin edit prepopulated feedback providers? | How assigned |
---|---|---|---|
Self | 1 | No | Required - All 360 subjects require a subject self assessment |
Manager | 1 | Yes | Prepopulates with the subject's direct manager |
Skip Manager | 1 | Yes | Prepopulates with the subject's direct manager |
Direct reports | 3* | Yes | Prepopulates with the subject's direct reports |
Peers | 3* | Yes | Prepopulates with people who have the same direct manager as the subject |
Custom | 1 | N/A | Not commonly used, but could be used for a dotted line manager or mentor feedback |
Custom | 3* | N/A | Commonly used for Collaborators |
Important
*At least three feedback providers must respond at the survey level to show feedback in a subject's report. Note that this requirement is not for question level.
Hover over and choose a category to open the Edit window for that category, which looks like this (for example):
Edit each field as you’d like. When editing in another language that is available in the dropdown menu, that language saves so you can come back to it later if further edits are needed. Confidentiality Statements
Caution
You can increase the confidentiality threshold for some feedback provider categories but you can’t decrease the threshold below default values.
Dependent on the provider category, provider response information settings, and whether your organization included a privacy policy link in General Settings, the 360 confidentiality statement users see varies. Learn more about Viva Glint 360 privacy and confidentiality.
This setting can’t be edited once a cycle is live. Choose between:
- On (default): Subjects see feedback providers and if they've responded. In reports, subjects see which feedback providers responded per category, but responses are not tied to individual names.
- Off: Subjects see feedback providers but can’t see whether they've responded. In reports, they see only the number of feedback providers who responded.
