behavior-cmt-opt:

Option “behavior-cmt-opt” is to control the comment box display or not.

0 – Show behavior item comments (and if applicable, the evaluator rating)

1 – DEFAULT. Do not Show any behavior item comments or evaluator ratings behavior-rating-opt

Note: For comment other than the subject and manager to be visible (for example, to have comments entered by the matrix manager be visible to others) the comment option (cmt-opt) will need to be set to 0 or 2 (cmt-opt=0 Show both item and section comments - cmt-opt = 2. Show only item comments, no section comments). The option suppress-item-comments is not supported, is always should keep as "0".

behavior-rating-opt:

Option “behavior-rating-opt” is to control the indiviual rating box display or not.  It also depends on the “behavior-cmt-opt” value.  If “behavior-cmt-opt” is 1 (hide comments), the individual rating box will not display at all regardless the value of  “behavior-rating-opt” value.

0 – DEFAULT. No ratings next to the subject's comment

1 – Display rating next to subject's and manager's comment only

2 – Display rating next to all evaluators' comments

behavior-mode-opt : 

0 – DEFAULT. In this mode, the competency behaviors do not get displayed above or below the competency description. Behavior mode '0' supports the existing configuration, where a user manually rates on the behavior items and those ratings are used to generate a "Calculated Competency Rating" (if the Calculation on form is enabled in the form template XML). This mode is also used for backwards compatibility for existing forms.

1 – Displays behaviors BELOW the competency, for display-only. Rating is done at the competency level. Only populates behaviors mapped to the competency by jobcode (use-jobcode="true").

2 – Displays behaviors ABOVE the competency, for display-only. Rating is done at the competency level. Only populates behaviors mapped to the competency by jobcode (use-jobcode="true").

4 - Displays behaviors BELOW the competency, for display-only. Rating is done at the competency level. Competencies must be manually added to the form (disregarded if configurable="false"), and all behaviors for competencies added will be displayed regardless of the jobcode-behavior mappping. This will only work when use-jobcode="false".

5 - Displays behaviors ABOVE the competency, for display-only. Rating is done at the competency level. Competencies must be manually added to the form (disregarded if configurable="false"), and all behaviors for competencies added will be displayed regardless of the jobcode-behavior mappping. This will only work when use-jobcode="false".

use-behavior : 

Option “use-behavior” is to control the competency rating is calculated by behavior or not. If the value is “True”, “behavior-mode-opt” must be “0”.

True - renders behaviors under each competency and calculates competency  rating based on the behavior(s)

False – competency rating calculation NOT based on behavior.

behavior-rating-opt="2" – no rating next all evaluators’ comments as comments are hidden

behavior-cmt-opt="1"   - hide comments

behavior-mode-opt="0"

user-behavior =  "true"

behavior-rating-opt="1"  - no difference with “2” above as comments are hidden

behavior-cmt-opt="1"   - hide comments

behavior-mode-opt="0"

user-behavior =  "true"

behavior-rating-opt="1"  -  only comments box displayed, no rating select box (compare to “2”)

behavior-cmt-opt="0"   - display comments

behavior-rating-opt="2"

behavior-cmt-opt="1"

behavior-mode-opt="1"   - can be the value not 0 if use-behavior not “true”

user-behavior = "false"
