| 5 | +The **Appraisals** app has the ability to report on all the appraisals in the system, including |
| 6 | +past, present, and future appraisals, and their respective statuses. This report helps managers |
| 7 | +track scheduled appraisals, and identify any overdue or unconfirmed ones. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +To access the *Appraisal Analysis* report, navigate to :menuselection:`Appraisals app --> Reporting |
| 10 | +--> Appraisal Analysis`. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +On the :guilabel:`Appraisal Analysis` page, a report loads, displaying all the appraisals in the |
| 13 | +database. Each entry is highlighted in a different color to represent their status: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | ++-----------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ |
| 16 | +| Color | Status | Meaning | |
| 17 | ++===========+============================+================================================+ |
| 18 | +| Yellow |:guilabel:`Done` | The appraisal was completed. | |
| 19 | ++-----------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ |
| 20 | +| Orange |:guilabel:`Appraisal Sent` |The appraisal was confirmed, but not completed. | |
| 21 | ++-----------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ |
| 22 | +| Red |:guilabel:`Cancelled` |The appraisal was cancelled. | |
| 23 | ++-----------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ |
| 24 | +| Gray |:guilabel:`To Start` | The appraisal was scheduled, but not confirmed.| |
| 25 | ++-----------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +.. note:: |
| 28 | + Appraisals are scheduled automatically (appear in gray), according to their respective |
| 29 | + :ref:`appraisals/appraisal-plan`. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The report displays the current year, in a default Gantt view, grouped by department, with the |
| 32 | +current month highlighted. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +To change the period of time that is presented, adjust the date settings in the top-left corner of |
| 35 | +the report by clicking the default :guilabel:`Year` to reveal a drop-down menu of options. The |
| 36 | +options to display are :guilabel:`Day`, :guilabel:`Week`, :guilabel:`Month`, and :guilabel:`Year`. |
| 37 | +Use the adjacent arrows to move forward or backward in time. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +At any point, click the :guilabel:`Today` button to have the Gantt view include today's date in the |
| 40 | +view. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +To view the details of any appraisal, click on any appraisal. A pop-over window appears, displaying |
| 43 | +the due date for the appraisal. To view more details, click the :guilabel:`View` button, and further |
| 44 | +details appear in a pop-up window. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +The report can have other :ref:`filters <search/filters>` and :ref:`groupings <search/group>` set in |
| 47 | +the search bar at the top. |

| 55 | +Group by status |
| 56 | +=============== |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +When a company has a large number of employees, the default :guilabel:`Appraisal Analysis` report |
| 59 | +may display too much information to view easily. In this scenario, viewing the data by status can be |
| 60 | +beneficial. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +First, remove the default :icon:`oi-group` :guilabel:`Department` grouping from the search bar. |
| 63 | +Next, click the :icon:`fa-caret-down` :guilabel:`(down arrow)` icon in the far-right of the search |
| 64 | +bar. Click :guilabel:`Status` in the :icon:`oi-group` :guilabel:`Group By` column. Click away from |
| 65 | +the drop-down menu to close it. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +All the appraisals are now organized by status, in the following order: :guilabel:`Cancelled`, |
| 68 | +:guilabel:`Done`, :guilabel:`To Start`, and :guilabel:`Appraisal Sent`. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +This view makes it easy to see which appraisals need to be completed, and when, as well as which |
| 71 | +appraisals still need to be confirmed. |
| 72 | + |

| 77 | +Use case: view only the user's appraisals |
| 78 | +========================================= |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +When viewing the :guilabel:`Appraisal Analysis` report, it can save time to only view the appraisals |
| 81 | +the signed-in user is responsible for, and hide the rest. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +To only view this data, click the :icon:`fa-caret-down` :guilabel:`(down arrow)` icon in the |
| 84 | +far-right of the search bar, revealing a drop-down menu. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +.. note:: |
| 87 | + It is not necessary to remove the default :icon:`oi-group` :guilabel:`Department` grouping. If it |
| 88 | + remains active, the results are grouped by department. If it is removed, the results appear in a |
| 89 | + list, alphabetically. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +Click :guilabel:`Add Custom Filter` at the bottom of the :icon:`fa-filter` :guilabel:`Filters` |
| 92 | +column, and a :guilabel:`Add Custom Filter` pop-up window appears. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +Click into the first field, and a pop-over appears with a variety of options. Click the |
| 95 | +:icon:`fa-chevron-right` :guilabel:`(right arrow)` icon after the word :guilabel:`Employee`, then |
| 96 | +scroll down and click on :guilabel:`Manager`. Next, set the middle field to :guilabel:`=` |
| 97 | +:guilabel:`(equal)`. Last, click the third field and select the desired user from the list. When all |
| 98 | +the fields are set, click :guilabel:`Add`. |

| 102 | + :alt: A customized filter to show only the user's employees. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +Now, the only appraisals that appear are the appraisals that the selected user is responsible for, |
| 105 | +instead of viewing *all* the appraisals. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +This report can also be :ref:`grouped by status <appraisals/group-status>`. |
