Note: Only Admins and Super Admins can do this
Templates help you standardise your review process. They contain prep questions that participants answer before their review meeting, ensuring productive meetings where everyone has prepared.
You can use Charlie templates or create your own. This article will walk you through how to create your own.
Navigate to the Templates tab in the Reviews section
Click on 'New template' -> "Start from scratch"
Set a name and a brief description
Choose how feedback will be collected: 2 way vs 1 way feedback:
A 2 way feedback template includes questions for both participants,. It requires self-evaluation from reviewees and preparation from reviewers - we recommend using this for any performance related reviews.
A 1 way feedback template is for any review where you only need 1 participant to prepare before their review meeting e.g. an Exit Interview.
Add instructions and as many questions as needed and you're done!
The template can now be found under Custom Templates 🎉
Once you save your template, it will be available to all Admins and Super Admins to use in a new review cycle.
