Step 2:  Enable Enforcement at the Template View level.

  • Admin Tools -> Calibration.
  • Manage Calibration Template -> Select the Template to enforce rating change comment.
  • Go to “Views” Tab. 
  • Select the view (except dashboard and List View).
  • Enable “Enforce comments on rating change”.
     
     

Note: Comment enforcement is based on the element selected and not based on the individual “View” screen.   For example, if the current “View” contains “Performance” and “Potential” as the 2 calibration elements and “enforce comments on rating change” option is selected.   The same enforcement will applies to other views which also have “Performance” or “Potential” elements.
