| Mandatory |
Due Date | Specify a due date for completing the assessment. | Mandatory |
STEP 3 : Click Add to create a new assessment template.
Notes
It is not required to setup the assessment elements at the time of creating the template as the templates can be configured as required by the assessee during the Setup Phase which are then endorsed by the Reporting Officer.
If the organisation is using cammsstrategy, then, Strategies, Actions and Measures can be automatically populated into the template. However, for auto populating to be successful, the Reporting Year Mapping must be must be completed first.
The system allows creating a template without completing Reporting Year Mapping. However, it is not recommended because it may incorporate erroneous data in the assessment once a rollover is initiated.
Once a new template has been created or an existing one replicated, the template will be saved to the Assessment Templates page and ready to be applied to users.
When duties and competencies are linked through staff classification, when assigning templates, these will be auto-populated in assessments.
2. To assign assessment templates, follow the steps below:
STEP 1 : In the Assessment Templates page, click Apply to open the template application view.
From this page, the particular template can be assigned to multiple staff members.
Use the search option to narrow down the list of staff members that need to be assigned for the particular template. Click Search Criteria arrow to expand the search option.
The system allows searching for assessees using the Business Unit, Reporting Officer, Assessee name and Staff Classifications.
To filter out staff members who have the same Reporting Officer, select 'Reporting Officer' and type the name into the 'Staff' text box and click Search and the system will return the corresponding results.
STEP 2: Assign a Reporting Officer for the template.
STEP 3: Assign as many staff members as required for the template by ticking the check box alongside the Staff Name.
STEP 4: Once the staff and the Reporting Officer are selected, click Create Assessments to create a batch of assessment records.
The system will generate notifications to the selected members of the staff, informing that they need to set up their assessment record. When the assessees log in to the system, they see that their assessment is ready for Setup within the 'My Assessments' section. The assessee can access and customise the assessment record as required and submit to the Reporting Officer for endorsement.
Note: When Duties and Competencies are linked to Staff Classifications via Framework>Duties/Competencies areas, they will be auto-populated in the assessments. This may depend on how you configure your cammstalent Settings.
3. To replicate/copy an existing assessment template, follow the steps below:
STEP 1: In the Assessment Templates page, click the Copy button of the assessment template you want to replicate.
STEP 2: Once you reach the replicate assessment template page, provide a title for the copied template via the Name field. The rest of the fields are populated from the original record and can be modified as required.
STEP 3: Click Replicate to create the copy of the assessment template. Once the replication is completed the template can be applied to any of the staff members.
