As an admin, you can pause, resume, duplicate or delete a review cycle. You find these actions via Performance > Reviews, in the menu on the review cycle card or via Actions on the cycle page. Below you read what each action does to reviews already in progress and to reviews that still have to start.
Pause
Click Pause to put a review cycle on hold. No new reviews start after that. Reviews already in progress carry on as normal: participants can give input, have the conversation and approve the review. You find a paused cycle on the Paused tab.
Resume
Click Resume to restart a paused review cycle. You then choose:
a new start date. It must be today or later.
how often the cycle repeats.
a new input deadline and review deadline.
If the cycle already had a schedule and deadlines, the fields are already filled in. The cycle continues as if it starts again on the new start date. Reviews that were already in progress keep their own dates and status.
Duplicate
Click Duplicate to make a copy of the review cycle. The copy takes over the settings and questions, and shows as a draft in the overview. The copy doesn't take over:
the employees and their managers
the reviews
the start date
an end to the repetition
Fill those in and activate the copy. Duplicating is also the way to use a different final assessment, because in a cycle with reviews the assessment is locked.
Delete
Click Delete and type the name of the review cycle to confirm.
Note: If you delete a review cycle, you also delete all reviews in that cycle. This includes completed reviews, with their input, summary, assessment, action items and recordings. You can't undo this. Only want to stop new reviews from starting? Then pause the cycle.
