How-to
Create a custom form
On this page
Custom Forms refer to configurable forms designed to capture performance-related data that is not covered by default templates. These forms allow HR teams or administrators to tailor data collection to align with specific evaluation criteria, organizational goals, or departmental needs during review cycles.
Example: An HR team may create a Leadership Competency Review form to evaluate managerial effectiveness. This form can include fields such as “Team Development Efforts,” “Decision-Making Ability,” and “Strategic Initiatives Led,” helping gather insights that standard reviews may not cover.

Creating Custom Forms allows you to collect specific information from employees based on your company’s needs. Whether for onboarding, internal requests, or performance reviews, custom forms give you full control over the data to be captured.
Follow these steps to add a new custom form:
