How to answer or decline a feedback request
Requests for your feedback are in My feedback, under My pending feedback. Open one to answer it, or use its three-dot menu to decline it with a justification.
Before you start
A colleague or a manager asked you for feedback. You usually get a notification; you can open the request from it.
Answer a request
In the side menu, open Development & Growth > Feedback > My Feedback.
In My pending feedback, find the request with the tag Fill out feedback. It reads, for example, the colleague's name followed by requested my feedback. A request from a manager carries the stamp Manager request and reads Manager asked my feedback about followed by the person's name. The list shows the 10 most recent; open the full list for the rest.
Click the request. The questionnaire Send feedback requested to you opens. Selected user shows the person the feedback is about, and below it you see the context of the request. If the tag Visible to manager appears, that person's manager will see your answer.
Answer the questions. Text answers can have up to 2000 characters.
Click Send feedback. You see Feedback successfully submitted.
The feedback moves to the Give feedback tab, in My given feedbacks. After you send it, you cannot change it.
Decline a request
In My pending feedback, open the three-dot menu on the request.
Choose Reject request.
Confirm when asked Are you sure that you want to reject this feedback request?
Write a justification. The box already contains I do not have, on today's date, sufficient and robust information to give this feedback; you can change it.
Confirm. The request is declined at once.
The person who asked sees Rejected request and can read your justification. Declining is the only way to say no; there is no deadline to answer.
Good to know
Your name always appears on the feedback you give. Feedback in GFoundry is not anonymous.
If you open a request from a notification and see Sorry, this user has canceled his feedback request!, the person withdrew it. There is nothing to answer.
In the mobile app
Tap Menu at the bottom of the screen and then Feedback (swipe left if you do not see it). Inside it, the sections of the module are in the bar at the bottom. The pages and the steps are the same as on the web.
If you do not see this
Your company may use a different name for this area or place it elsewhere in the menu. If your menu has no side groups, look for Feedback in the list of modules at the top.
If you cannot find an older request, the list opens filtered from the start of the current year. Change the By date filter.
If the three-dot menu has no Reject request, your company does not use this option, or that feedback type does not allow it.
