GRADE SCALE IN SYNERGITA

The Grade Scale is used to rate or assess employee goals and competencies during performance reviews. As a Synergita administrator, you can create and edit grade scales, which can then be mapped to goals or competencies in Master feedback forms.

Creating a New Grade Scale

Follow these steps to create a new grade scale:

1. Navigate to: Admin > Admin.

2. Under Performance, click Grade Scales.

3. In the Add Grade Scale section, provide the following details:

• Name: Enter a unique name for the grade scale (e.g., 2-point scale, 3-point scale, 5-point scale).
• Scale Type: Choose Fixed or Floating.

Fixed Grade Scale:

• Uses whole numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3).

• Specify the number of grade divisions, assign text values and short codes for each, define numerical grade points, and optionally add display text for rating guidelines in the review form.

• Example: A 3-point scale may have 1 as the lowest grade and 3 as the highest.

Floating Grade Scale:

• Allows decimal values (e.g., 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0).

• Specify the minimum and maximum numerical grade points and the increment/step value.

• Display texts cannot be defined; only the numbers appear in the review form.

• Example: A 1–5 scale with 0.5 increments will display 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, etc., on the rating slider.

Increment Interval Validation:

• In the feedback form grid, the increment interval between assigned range values is shown.

• If an employee enters a value that does not match the defined increment, a pop-up will instruct them to select a valid value within the interval.

Set as Default Attribute Grade:

• Enable this option to automatically assign this grade scale to new goals or attributes during the goal-setting process.

Set as Default:

• Enable this to use the grade scale for overall score calculation.

• Example: For a 3-point scale, the overall score will be calculated out of 3.

Number of Divisions:

• Defines the levels within a grade scale. Each division represents a rating point, helping categorize employee performance clearly (e.g., 1–3 for low to high performance).
