DEFINE REVIEW TYPES#
Review types are used by Wiki to group or classify reviews for reporting purposes. As well, the review types are used by the Generate Upcoming Reviews (USUR) program to specify which type of review to create, and on what schedule. Review Types are created and maintained through the Define Review Types (ISRT) screen.Review Types data is maintained on the P2K_SA_REVIEW_TYPES table.
- Review Type
- This field displays the user-defined name for the type of review being created. Review_Type_Code is a 16-character alphanumeric mandatory field that is manually entered.
- Frequency
- This is the amount of time between reviews of this type, for example, one year for an annual review. Enter the amount of time as a numerical value. This field is not required if there is no set time between reviews, as would be the case with a disciplinary review. Review_Period is a 5-character numeric optional field that may be manually entered.
- Period Basis
- This field defines the time period (hour, day, week, year) in which the review period value is expressed. Period_Basis is an optional fixed lexicon (X_PERIOD_BASIS) that you may use if the Review Period field has been populated.
- Approval Level
- This field displays the position level within the organization whose approval is necessary to complete this review. For example, if a review will cause a salary change, it may be necessary to have a higher level of approval than if the review will just change an employee’s status from probationary to fully active status. Approval_Level is an optional fixed lexicon (X_APPROVAL_LEVEL) that you may use to choose the appropriate the value.

- A description of the review type is provided in this field. Description is a 50-character alphanumeric optional field that may be manually entered.
- Category
- This field holds the user-created category code that will be rated when reviews of this type are created for employees. Only those categories defined for each review type will appear in the ISRV form when that review type is selected.
