**Note**: Mid-Cycle Comments box will need to be checked if you want to include graded section(s) for mid-cycle comments. Uncheck if you wan to exclude graded sections for mid-cycle comments. 

![](https://help.inspiresoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-07-2026-07-56-15-1404-PM.png?width=2537&height=1322&name=image-png-May-07-2026-07-56-15-1404-PM.png)

Use the toggle for each section to enable grading, by section, for **Objectives, Competencies, Assessment Questionnaire, Shared Measures, and Values**.

Use the Grade Scale dropdowns to select the appropriate grading scales per section.

**Note**: Comment fields now adjust based on the selected cycle section permissions. 

**Employee Only** : Supervisor comment fields are hidden from Performance Agreements and Mid-Cycle Comments, allowing only employees to add comments. Responses will be visible to Supervisors

**Supervisor Only** : Employee comment fields are hidden from Performance Agreements and Mid-Cycle Comments, allowing only supervisors to add comments. Responses will be visible to Employees. 

**Supervisor / HR Only** - Items will only be answered by supervisors in Appraisals - Responses will not be visible to Employees and will not be included in the grade sheet. 

Select competencies and values for the cycle.

Associate role groups with competencies, if applicable.

**Note**: If your Organization does not utilize Grades and you would like your employees to still write comments. For each section - Set up a grade scale with only one grade and add a Title. 

Ex: The Title in this example is ***Comment*** and is selected Automatically since there is only 1 Grade title. 

![](https://help.inspiresoftware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Dec-20-2024-08-19-57-9386-PM.png?width=670&height=363&name=image-png-Dec-20-2024-08-19-57-9386-PM.png)

### 360 Feedback (optional)

Select users to be in the performance cycle. Search for and manage users and cycle due dates. Since Dynamic and Static groups are set up in Group Management, groups need to be defined before adding to a weighting group. Add the participants for this Performance Cycle. If using weighted groups, assign users from the weighted groups.
