Check-Ins – How To Set Up an Area of Interest Within a Check-In

Check-ins allow employees, peers and managers to complete performance reviews. Check ins within Flare can be customised to suit your various employees. Check-ins are set up in smaller individual parts, which you then assemble at the end. You will need to set up the following parts to create a Check-in:

• Area of Interest: This acts like a category. 
• Topic: This is a subset of the above category to which you can add -
  • Focus Points: These act like individual questions/statements. 
    • Scale: This allows to set a scale (e.g. 1-10 or Meets expectations - Does not meet expectations)
    • Free text field: This allows for an employee or manager to enter free text

The basic flow of setting up a Check-in is as below: 

1. Establish a rating Scale
2. Set up Topics
3. Set up Area of Interest
4. Prepare the Check-in
5. Preview the Check-in
6. Proceed with the Check-in
