In LMS Collaborator, you can maintain a corporate library of competencies, create job profiles based on it, and organize employee assessments by competencies.<\/p>\n<p>After completing the assessment, the supervisor can summarize the assessment results and assign a final grade for each competency in the Assessment Protocol.

Flexible customization of commenting on evaluation criteria<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When you evaluate employees, for example, in the format of an appraisal, performance review, or within an assessment center, it is important not only to give a score, but also to justify the score. To do this, in LMS Collaborator, the administrator can enable the function of commenting on the evaluation criteria. And also set the conditions under which the comment field will appear. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>when the score is below the norm \u2013 to explain the reasons for poor results and to point out areas for development;<\/li>\n<li>when the score is above the norm \u2013 to emphasize strengths and motivate the employee;<\/li>\n<li>when the score is within a certain range (e.g., 3 out of 5) \u2013 for additional context and clarification.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17720 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.1.png\" alt=\"Assessment\" width=\"779\" height=\"592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.1.png 1920w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.1-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.1-1024x779.png 1024w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.1-768x584.png 768w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.1-1536x1168.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It helps make the assessment more transparent for both the employee and the manager or HR.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"43_Notification_to_the_supervisor_of_the_completion_of_the_subordinates_self-assessment\"><\/span>4.3. Notification to the supervisor of the completion of the subordinate&#8217;s self-assessment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In some cases, it is important to follow the logic of the assessment process. For example, first, an employee undergoes a self-assessment, and only then is he or she evaluated by the manager and colleagues. This approach helps to assess the employee more accurately by comparing their self-assessment with reality.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, in LMS Collaborator, you can customize the order of filling out the questionnaire by role \u2013 determine who should be evaluated and in what sequence. That is, if an employee is to evaluate himself first, then the manager receives the questionnaire only after the subordinate has completed the self-assessment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17723 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.2.png\" alt=\"Task editing\" width=\"780\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.2.png 1920w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.2-300x228.png 300w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.2-1024x779.png 1024w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.2-768x584.png 768w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.2-1536x1169.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The system will send notifications to the manager in time to let him or her know that the employee has already completed his or her part of the assessment:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17726 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.21.png\" alt=\"notification\" width=\"679\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.21.png 1568w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.21-300x287.png 300w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.21-1024x980.png 1024w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.21-768x735.png 768w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/3.21-1536x1469.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is it convenient?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The manager does not need to check the stage of the evaluation on his own.

Poll by group \u2013 Automatically close the poll after a selected answer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Polls are one of the fastest and most effective ways to get quality feedback from your team. In LMS Collaborator, you can adapt the survey format to any task: from completely anonymous surveys to confidential ones where only the author can see the results.<\/p>\n<p>For more complex cases, where it is important to take into account the context or role of the participant, you can use the <strong>\u201cgroup surveys\u201d<\/strong> mode. It allows you to divide the questionnaire into thematic blocks and build a scenario based on the user&#8217;s answers.<\/p>\n<p>You can also specify a response that will automatically close the survey. For example, you want to find out about the impression of a recent webinar. In the first question, you specify whether the respondent participated in the event. If they choose the option <strong>\u201cI did not attend the webinar,\u201d<\/strong> the survey is immediately completed for them &#8211; the system records the status as \u201ccompleted,\u201d and no additional questions appear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17732 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4.png\" alt=\"Poll by group\" width=\"781\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4.png 1920w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4-1024x774.png 1024w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4-768x580.png 768w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4-1536x1161.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This saves time and increases the accuracy of the results.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Assigning_checklists_to_functional_managers\"><\/span>6. Assigning checklists to functional managers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Checklists can be used to verify the standards and processes that employees must follow. They are also used to test knowledge after trainings, monitor the work of subordinates, assess compliance with corporate policies, or collect feedback from the team.<\/p>\n<p>In many companies, not only the immediate manager but also the functional manager checks compliance with standards. For example, a cybersecurity specialist needs to check how employees comply with the internal information security policy. In such cases, it is important that he or she is the one who receives the audit task.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, we have added a new mode for assigning checklist forms to <strong>a functional manager<\/strong>.

Editing the status of the webinar in the report<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In LMS Collaborator, the status of completing tasks of the \u201cwebinar\u201d type is determined automatically. If an employee joins a webinar through the LMS, they get a \u201ccompleted\u201d status, if not, they get a \u201cfailed\u201d status. However, there are cases when employees connect to a webinar via a direct link from their calendar or email, rather than through the learning portal.<\/p>\n<p>To mark their participation, you can manually change the attendance status in <strong>the webinar report<\/strong> after the webinar is over.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17741 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-2.png\" alt=\"the webinar report\" width=\"781\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-2.png 1920w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-2-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-2-1024x770.png 1024w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-2-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/collaborator.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/6-2-1536x1154.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 781px) 100vw, 781px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All changes are recorded in the task protocol \u2013 you can always see who edited the progress status and when, which allows you to maintain transparency and control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.
