Brief overview of review cycles on Charlie

What is a review Cycle? Who can create a review? What do they look like?

Written by Alexandros Tofarides

Note: Only Admins, Super Admins or Line Managers can create a review cycle (depending on the account settings).

In Charlie, a review cycle is the period of time you set for review participants to complete all steps of their review:

The steps include:

  • Reviewee submission

  • Reviewer submission

  • Review summary (optional depending on company settings)

  • Peer feedback ( optional depending on template set up)


Once a review cycle has been created and scheduled

On the day of the review launch all participants will receive an email letting them know the cycle has begun. Participants also receive additional email reminders at different stages of the review, as well as when feedback as been submitted.

All reviews and review stages will be locked once as deadline has passed.

Super Admins will be able to create and see all reviews, and review content in all states (upcoming, in progress, ending soon, and ended).

Team Members will only be able to see reviews that they are participating in either as a reviewer or as a reviewee.


For Admins

These review cycles can be seen on the Grow tab->Reviews-> Activity page

  1. Draft- Draft of a review cycle that has not had a start date or end date set

  2. Coming up - review cycle has not yet launched

  3. Starting today - review cycle launched today

  4. In progress - review cycle has started and has five or more days left

  5. Ending soon - review cycle is ending within five days
