Participants Overview

The Participants section is where you manage the people involved in your 360-degree feedback project.

This includes both the individuals receiving feedback and those providing it.

Who Are Participants?

Participants are made up of two main groups:

• Subjects – individuals receiving feedback
• Responders – individuals providing feedback

Each subject is linked to one or more responders, who complete the questionnaire.

What You Can Do in the Participants Section

Within this section, you can:

• Add and manage subjects
• Add and assign responders
• Define relationships between subjects and responders
• Organize participants by category
• Import and export participant data

This section is central to setting up how feedback will be collected.

How Participants Fit Into Your Workflow

Participants are typically added after your questionnaire is created.

A common sequence is:

1. Build your questionnaire
2. Add participants
3. Assign responder relationships
4. Launch your project

Accurate participant setup is essential for collecting reliable feedback.

Understanding Participant Relationships

Each subject is connected to a group of responders.

Responders are usually categorized based on their relationship to the subject, such as:

• Manager
• Peer
• Direct report
• Other

These categories are used to organize feedback in reports.

Tips for Managing Participants

• Ensure participant information is accurate before launching
• Assign appropriate responders to each subject
• Use clear responder categories
• Review participant setup carefully before sending invitations
