We're excited to introduce Import & Export Activity, a new admin dashboard that provides complete visibility into your workspace's import history. With this release, workspace admins can easily track every OKR spreadsheet import, monitor its status, and download detailed reports—all from a single place.

What's New?

Centralized Import Activity:

A new Settings → Import & Export Activity page is now available, with dedicated tabs for Imports (available now) and Exports (coming in a future release).

Complete Import History:

Every OKR spreadsheet import is automatically logged with key details, including:

• Import name

• Status
• Number of rows processed
• Start and completion time
• Total processing duration

Detailed Import Reports:

Download a row-level report for every completed import to quickly identify:

• Successfully imported rows
• Failed rows
• Failure reasons for each row

Refresh Without Reloading:

Use the Refresh button to fetch the latest import status without reloading the page. A Last Updated timestamp helps you know when the data was last refreshed.

• Import name
• Import source

The filtering experience matches the familiar Goals page, including multi-select options, result counts, and one-click clear.

Automatic Report Retention:

Import reports remain available for 30 days, after which they are automatically removed to optimize storage.

Timezone-Aware Timestamps:

All dates and times are displayed in the viewer's account timezone, with exact completion times available on hover over the duration.

We've introduced a major upgrade to performance review scoring across the review experience. This release makes performance review scoring more consistent and flexible across the platform, while introducing Final Score to give admins a single rating to share with employees after reviews are released.

1. Score Block Customization:

• Sectional and overall score blocks can now be renamed at any time, even after reviews have been written.
• Sectional and overall score blocks now support a Private visibility option. When enabled, only admins can view the score on the web, while it remains hidden from all other viewers.

2. Stored & Consistent Scores:

• Goal and competency scores are now stored individually for each reviewer.
• Multi-reviewer rollups for goals, competencies, and overall scores are generated using these stored scores.
• The same stored scores are used consistently across the web application, PDF exports, calibration, and Slack, eliminating differences caused by recalculating scores in different places.

3. Smarter Score Calculation:

• Multi-reviewer aggregated scores now include only reviewers who have submitted their reviews.
• Reviewers whose reviews are rejected or not yet approved are automatically excluded from score calculations.

4. Overall Score on All Review Forms:

• Overall score blocks can now be added to any reviewer form (Self, Manager, Peer, Custom Reviewer, Skip Manager, or Direct Report), eliminating the need to rely solely on a manager summary form.

Calibration Enhancements?

Goals, Competencies & Overall Scores:

Admins can now independently calibrate:

• Goal scores
• Competency scores
• Overall scores

Additional enhancements include:

• Calibrated scores override computed scores throughout the application and PDF exports.
• Calibration data supports CSV import and export.
• Calibrated scores are reflected in: Line Chart, Bar Chart, & 9-Box View.

New Feature: Final Score:

A new Final Score can now be enabled from: Review Cycle → Forms → Final Score. Once enabled, admins can choose between two methods for determining the final rating.

Option A: Manager-Provided Final Rating:

• A rating question is added to the selected reviewer form (typically the Manager form).
• The rating can be configured like any standard rating question, including: Custom rating scale & Custom legend.

• Managers provide the final rating while completing their review.
• A Private option allows only the manager and admin to view the rating, based on visibility settings.

Option B: Weighted Computed Final Score

Admins can automatically calculate the final score by:

• Selecting score blocks that contribute to the final rating, such as: Overall Scores, Sectional Scores, Goal Scores, & Competency Scores.

• Assigning weightages to each selected block.
• Ensuring the total weight equals 100%, with an option to automatically distribute any remaining weight evenly.
• Applying default weightages to all reviewees.
• Uploading custom per-reviewee weightages via CSV during the Reviewees step.

Note: A Private option is also available, allowing only admins to view the computed final score.

Final Score Visibility:

Admins can configure which reviewer types can view the Final Score while completing their reviews, including: Manager, Peer, Direct Report, Skip Manager, Custom Reviewer, and other reviewer types.

Based on these visibility settings:

• The Final Score is propagated only to the selected reviewer forms.
• Reviewees see their Final Score only after Release Review, where it is displayed prominently between the employee header and the review forms.

Final Score Across the Platform:

• Final Score is supported across Admin Calibration (with CSV import/export), Line Chart, Bar Chart, 9-Box View, Web, Slack, and PDF exports.
• In PDF exports, it appears on the last page for eligible viewers based on their access permissions.

UI & Display Improvements?

• Removed the "Average Score" label next to calculated questions in Release Review and PDF exports.
• Fixed the 9-Box view so goal scores display as blank instead of 0 / Unsatisfactory when no review has been submitted.
• Improved manager change handling:

1. Overall scores across forms automatically refresh when the manager changes.
2. Final Score follows the updated manager assignment logic.
3. New managers begin with a blank score.
4. Previous manager scores are preserved separately for historical accuracy.
