The Observations screen allows you to start a new observation. An observation contains one or more free text or multiple choice questions and is used by managers to assess the progress of a reportee.

A manager can carry out

...

an observation for each of their reportees, to assess their performance and provide constructive feedback on how they can improve in the future. An observation can be viewed retrospectively by both the manager and reportee. For example, a user might lack specific knowledge essential for performing safely at work, such as food hygiene standards needed when working in a kitchen. The manager might assess the user and then suggest ways in which they can fill that gap in their knowledge, such as taking a course.
