The Officer Review heavily relies on the Service Review site which is where users work through the evaluation and review process. The Service Review site allows users to login, see their assigned reviews, perform an evaluation and finalize the review process. The following information will help users understand how to use the Service Review features.
Login
The Service Review allows users to enter their email and password to enter and see a list of any surveys they have been assigned. See "My Reviews" below for additional information.
Alternatively, users can choose to enter their email and token and be directed into a specific review in-progress. The "token" is a temporary password unique to a specific user and review. The token will be different for each user every time they participate in a review.
My Reviews
When a user logs into the Service Review site they will see the "My Reviews" screen. They will be able to easily see a link to any review they have been assigned.
Click on a review to begin the evaluation and review process!
Evaluation
The evaluation is the portion of the review where users are rating the performance of the person in review. At any point in the review users can use the timeline to see where they are at in the process.
Introduction
The evaluation will begin with an introduction screen summarizing information about the person in review along with the mission statement and covenant.
The user will also be able to add informative comments for other users to see prior to beginning the evaluation.
Evaluation Questions
As users step into the evaluation they will have a summary of each section of the review before they begin choosing their responses.
Once users see an evaluation question they will read the statement at the top and then click one of the options below. When a selection is made the review will automatically advance to the next evaluation question.
A change can be made to a response by clicking the appropriate question number and choosing a different rating.
Users will continue answering ALL evaluation questions until they see the evaluation summary. The evaluation summary will list all of the evaluation answers selected while also highlighting those marked as vital few.
Click on ANY question to jump to that question and make an adjustment if desired.
Submit Evaluation
After the evaluation summary users will be prompted to submit their evaluation responses. In order to submit the evaluation ALL evaluation questions will need to have an answer ("Not Applicable" is considered an answer).
Goals
Users will want to create some goals to be discussed with their reviewer. These can be done at any time prior to closing the review. Use the "vital few" selections (areas needing growth) identified during the evaluation to formulate the goals.
When creating a goal users will be required to enter XX, XX, and XX.
Accomplishments
An optional area of the review is the accomplishments screen. There is a link to it from the "Submit Evaluation" screen but users can always access it from the menu at the top right.
Review
Once both the person in review and the reviewer have submitted their evaluations the review can begin. The user performing the review (aka the "Reviewer") can start the review.
Once the "Start Review" button is clicked the review will be locked. Any observer that has not submitted their evaluation will NO longer be able to participate.
Once started, the person in review will be able to see selections made by the reviewer and see the reviewer's concluding comments.
Closing Review
After the review has been completed all assigned users (person in review, reviewer and unit commander) will need to add final comments and digitally sign the review. Once everyone has signed the person in review will have the option to close their review.
If a unit commander was not assigned to the review then only the person in review and the reviewer will need to sign the review before it can be closed.
