How to Create a Performance Review Template?
The following article will help explain on how you can create or update a performance review template through SFCodeBot.
Navigate to CodeBot for SAP SuccessFactors, enter your login details.

On the Home screen, click on PM/GM module.

Select your workspace from the next screen.

Navigate to a generated workbook in my case iteration # 125. Click the sheet icon.

The workbook will appear in a new tab on your browser. Select the Templates PM worksheet.
In block one (Column A – M), choose a template name you wish to create along with some basic information. The block two (Column N – U) allows us to add scale adjusted calculations for our template. The block three (Column V – Z) orders our templates. The block four (Column AA – AD) manages introduction section. The block five (Column AE – AI) manages employee section. The block six (Column AJ - AN) manages signature section. The block seven (Column AO – AS) manages signature section. The block eight (Column AJ – AN) manages additional comments section. The block nine (Column AT – BB) manages customized weighted rating section. The block ten (Column BC – BH) manages midyear section. The block eleven (Column BI – BQ) manages performance potential summary section. The block twelve (Column BR – CZ) manages goal section. The block thirteen (Column DA – EE) manages competency section. The block fourteen (Column EF – EL) manages custom section. The block fifteen (Column EM – EY) manages goal competency summary section. The block sixteen (Column EZ – FQ) helps to add custom elements for a section. The block seventeen (Column FR – GB) manages summary section. The block seventeen (Column GC – GF) manages weight fields for the summary section. For the sake of this example, we have filled data in a few blocks, to keep matters simple. However, you can choose to fill data according to your own requirements. Finally, set the processing status to pending in block eighteen (Column GG – GH).
