Appraisal 
Template is used to add      
    and maintain "Key Performance Indicators (KPI)" for a KPI Group. The template 
also contains the "Score Type",  "Weight" and "Base Value" for each 
KPI.
      
              
  These KPIs are added to      
              
  the appraisal of an employee when the appraisal is 
generated.
  - 
Score Type - The score type can be "Score 
  Range" or "Value".
  
    - 
If the score type is score range, the base value is 
    updated with the highest score from the "KPI Score 
    Range           
             
    ".
    
- 
If the score type is value, users can define the base 
    value.
 
- 
Weight - Each KPI has a 
  weight where the appraisal score is scored by the overall weight percentage 
  allocated. 
  
  - 
For example "Employee A" is the "System Administrator" 
    and has the following KPIs.
    
  - 
KPI 1 -System Administration, Backup and Health Check.
  
- 
KPI 2 -Document System Security Policies.
  
- 
KPI 1 can be weighted as 80% and KPI 2 as 20%.
 
- 
The total weight for an appraisal template can not exceed 
    100%.
 
- 
Base Value - The base value is the denominator 
  for the performance score. For example if the base value for "KPI X" is 100 
  then the performance score will be scored out of 100 e.g. 
  60/100.
