Reporting and Dashboard Enhancements
• Expanded Reporting Capabilities
◦ Show me the Data! … We know you need to see the data, and need flexibility on how you see it, so we’ve added more reports, more display options, and more features.
• Dashboard Enhancements
◦ More Control right up front … We also know you may like to see or display summarized data right when you sign in, so we’ve added capabilities to the badges and dashboard.
• More Features for Survey Takers

Package Manager and Auto Instance!
• Package Manager (New!)
◦ Create and Apply “mini-templates” within existing Instances … A package can contain the necessary items to conduct a segment of evaluation, such as a peer review, and be imported to an open Instance already in progress.
• Auto-Instance (New!)
◦ Automatically Create a new Instance on your Schedule … Helps keep your GideonSoft configuration current and streamlines the process to changing to a new Instance.

New! Continual Progress Review (CPR)
• Job Manager
◦ This is where all Jobs are created and shared (as templates). A title, description and typical responsibilities are outlined.
• Position Manager
◦ Turn a Job into a unique Position designed to connect a Supervisor to an Employee. The Supervisor can use the Position Manager to modify Responsibilities for this Employee, schedule future meetings, and set reminders.
• Interactions
◦ Oftentimes team members are not comfortable coming to their supervisor. The CPR was designed to help facilitate this process. Notifications for Check Ins and Appraisals appear on an Employee’s timeline and help prevent too much time passing between communication.
