1. enter the following OData URI in your browser:
   https://<hostname>/odata/v2/createPerformanceReviewForm?formSubjectId='<username>'&formTemplateId=<template_ID>L&sendEmail=false&enRouteCopy=false
• where <hostname> is the API URL for your datacenter
• where <username> is the username of the form's subject
• where <template_ID> is the form template ID as defined in provisioning.
2. log in with the following the following credentials:
