This scenario deals withtesting a Performance Review event that includes calibrations. Since the goals are not populating as expected, you need toreset the process correctly before fixing the configuration.

Here’s why the correct choice isMass Rescind – Start Performance Review (including subprocesses):

Rescind vs Cancel

Rescind: Completelyremoves the business process instanceand all of its subprocesses from the system as if it never occurred. This is the proper action duringtesting, because it clears the data and lets you start fresh with corrected configuration.

Cancel: Stops the process, but leaves historical records behind. This is not ideal for configuration testing, because it doesn’t fully reset the process state.

Why Start Performance Review only (not Calibration)

Calibration events are tied to performance reviews. If you rescind theperformance review, the associated calibration processes are also cleared.

If you attempt to rescind or cancel both Performance Review and Calibration separately, it can cause unnecessary complications.

Why including subprocesses

Performance Review has multiplesubprocesses(e.g., goal population, manager review, employee self-evaluation, calibration triggers).

To fully clear the faulty test run, you must include all subprocesses; otherwise, remnants of the process remain in-progress and may block future testing.

Incorrect Options Explained

A. Mass Rescind (Performance Review + Calibration, no subprocesses)→ Wrong, because calibration rescinds automatically when you rescind the review, and leaving out subprocesses creates incomplete cleanup.

C. Mass Cancel (Performance Review + Calibration, with subprocesses)→ Wrong, becauseCanceldoes not fully reset configuration testing.

D. Mass Cancel (Performance Review only, no subprocesses)→ Wrong, same reason:Cancelis insufficient, and leaving subprocesses active breaks cleanup.

Competencies can be assigned to multiple objects: job profiles, job families, positions, or management levels.

When determining a worker’starget proficiency level,Positiontakes precedence over all other sources.

Order of precedence:Position > Job Profile > Job Family > Management Level.

This allows organizations to define competencies at higher levels (family, profile) but override them at the position level if necessary.

In theAdd Goal to Employeestask, managers can cascade or assign goals to groups of workers.

The available grouping option is byOrganizations(e.g., supervisory organizations, cost centers, custom organizations).

Succession Pools, Job Profiles, and Job Familiesare not selection criteria in this task. Those are used in talent or competency management contexts but not in mass goal assignment.

Behavioral indicatorscan be tied to proficiency rating levels on a competency to describe expected behaviors at each level.

These indicators are assigned byJob Profile.

Other options (Supervisory Organization, Management Level, Talent Pool) are not used to define behavioral indicators.

Linking by Job Profile allows organizations to customize behaviors expected for different roles.

When you want a performance review template with only anOverall section, the correct configuration isPrompt for Overall Rating.

This option requires the manager to provide a single overall rating without averaging or weighting items.

Other options:

Manual Entry→ applies to ratings on items, not a single overall section.

Calculated Ratings with No Overrides→ automatically calculates from section ratings (not desired here).

Calculated Ratings with Overrides→ allows calculation plus manual override, but still requires sections/items.
