Before a Learning and Growth Report will appear in the ‘Archived Learning and Growth Reports’ module, it must first be generated. See Print Learning and Growth Reports for details.

 

With the Detailed Learning and Growth Report, on the screen, select the ‘Archive Report’ button.

Note: the ‘Archive Report’ button is only available if the Report is generated by the Supervisor.  Incumbents cannot archive their own reports and will receive a message indicating so. System administrators will receive the following message if he/she tries to archive an incumbent review that has no attached Supervisory Review - "You must have at least 1 SUPERVISOR review to be able to archive this review!

While the Lead is typically the last person to review and sign off the archived learning and growth report, it may also be an appropriate time for the Lead and Employee to review the report together, and use this opportunity to discuss all elements in the report.  

Scroll to the end of the report to add Employee Comments.

Note: The process of saving the Employee Comments has been simplified and streamlined for users.  It now advises with the following message:

Employee comments

To acknowledge that the report has been reviewed by both the Lead and the Employee, the person logged in checks the Reviewed box beside their name.  Since they are already logged in, there is no need to also enter a password.  The other party then checks the Reviewed box by their name then enters the password they use to access the ENCV system.

Save to close.

Note:  If no Employee comments have been entered, a Confirmation screen will appear.

Click OK to save or cancel to return to the Archived Learning and Growth Report and add Employee comments.

 

Note about Reviewed Reports: If the Lead and Employee are not able to review the Learning and Growth Report together, the Lead can archive the report, the employee can log in, review the report, add comments and review it, then the Lead can review it.  

Note for Administrators: The Administrative User has access to add comments and review the reports for the Employee and Lead if necessary.

 

Encompassing Visions enables individual Employee’s access to their Archived Learning and Growth Reports. An Employee who has ‘Lead’ responsibilities will also see Archived Learning and Growth Reports for subordinate staff if 1) the Lead has completed and archived learning and growth reviews for one or more of them, and 2) the subordinate staff member is currently reporting to the Lead.

 

To Delete a Learning and Growth Report

Note: Archived Learning and Growth Reports can only be Deleted by an Administrative User. If the Delete button in the Actions bar is grayed-out, it is because the Approvals on that particular Report are in place and it is now an historical record.

Click Delete in the Actions bar.

A confirmation message will appear. Click OK to delete or cancel to return to the previous screen.
