HR: setting up appraisal types, cycles, and assignments

HR administrators manage appraisals from the sidebar under Performance Appraisal: 1. Types & Criteria — define appraisal types and scoring criteria (name, max score, weight). 2. Cycles — create a cycle with dates, scope (company/department/branch), and activate it. 3. Assign — link employees to appraisers for the cycle; use Auto-assign managers to fill from org chart. 4. Overview — monitor all records and completion status. When a cycle is activated, employees and managers may receive notifications. Submitted appraisals feed the Support Hub Performance board.
