Scenario When Issue Encountered

Issue Resolved

Creating a custom evaluation

When creating an evaluation from a program template that contains two sections with the same name and type (e.g., two "Oral Communications" sections), the system throws an error without explaining how to resolve the error. We introduced a more descriptive error message to instruct users to update the name of the sections.

Clicking “Back” while in a rating step

Some evaluations rating steps brought users to a blank page after clicking the 'Back' button. Introduced patches that help avoid background crashes that result in a blank page.

Viewing a completed evaluation where an employee did not complete a self-evaluation

A lowest overall rating displays in the self-rater section on both acknowledgement forms and print preview screen even though the self-rater did not rate/score themselves or access the overall rating section. Introduced patch to ensure ratings do not display if a self-rater does not rate themselves.

Audit Trail showed that employee cancelled their own evaluation

Introduced an additional check to explicitly restrict employees from cancelling evaluations where they are the subject. This is not allowed in the UI, but this extra check ensures that even if the UI restriction is bypassed (e.g., via a direct API call), the cancellation will still be rejected.

Notification emails not sending consistently

Introduced another set of fixes to deliver notifications more consistently.
