LEAPS Performance Just Got Smarter

Our performance evaluation system just received two upgrades designed to protect your work and make collaboration between supervisors/reviewers and co-planners smoother.

These enhancements are live now—no action needed on your part:

1. Auto‑Save for Notes and Comments

    • Your typing now saves automatically—no manual save required.
    • Changes are captured 1.5 seconds after you pause, and the system will also auto-save at least every 10 seconds.

2. Shared Rating Access for Co‑Planners

    • Supervisors/reviewers and co-planners can now enter or update ratings.
    • Comments from each person are always saved separately and tagged with the commenter’s name.

Important: How Ratings Work

  • For each rating item, only the most recent rating entered—by either supervisor or co-planner—is kept.
  • If both parties enter a rating for the same item, the last edit becomes the rating of record.

How Comments Work

  • All comments are additive.
  • No comments are overwritten, removed, or replaced—every comment stays, with the author clearly identified.

Now that the system supports shared participation, we encourage supervisors and co-planners to decide together how they’d like to divide tasks to keep the evaluation cycle running smoothly.
