The Subject Settings page allows you to configure how Subjects participate in the 360-degree feedback process, including self-assessment options and related reporting settings.
What You Can Configure
On this page, you can configure:
- Whether Subjects can complete a self-assessment
- Whether Subjects can access the Subject Portal to enter their Responders
- The name of the self-response category (default is “Self”)
- Whether narrative comments from self-assessments are included in reports
These settings help determine how Subjects interact with the assessment process and how their self-feedback is displayed in reports.
Self-Response Considerations
Self-assessments can provide valuable insight into how Subjects perceive their own performance and behaviours. Comparing self-ratings with feedback from others may help identify:
- Areas of alignment between self-perception and others’ perceptions
- Blind spots
- Hidden strengths
- Self-perception gaps
These comparisons can support greater self-awareness and provide a useful starting point for coaching and development conversations.
Most organizations choose to include self-assessments in their 360-degree feedback reports.
When to Configure Subject Settings
You will typically review and configure Subject Settings:
- During project setup
- Before adding people
- Before launching your project
It is recommended to finalize these settings before invitations are sent.

- Use clear and recognizable naming for the self-response category
