Pending evaluations for managers

Managers can evaluate their reportees' submissions when Manager Evaluation is set to Enable for the training.

When it is set to Disable, the submission still shows in the manager's Pending list, but the row is greyed out. The tooltip reads "Manager Evaluation is currently disabled for this training. Contact your admin to enable it." The submission still counts in the Pending Evaluations number on the Home page.

Common questions

Where is Evaluations in the navigation menu?

It is not in the Training menu. Open it from Pending Evaluations on your Home page, or select the evaluation notification.

Why can't I start an evaluation?

Another evaluator may have started it already. Admins can unlock it. Managers see a greyed-out row when Manager Evaluation is disabled for the training.

Do learners see their score while the evaluation is pending?

No. They see their score after the evaluation is completed.
