Coaching Notes

Coaching notes can either be Shared or Private, and can include an attachment.

• Shared notes are visible to both the manager & the selected employee.
• Private notes are visible to the manager, not the employee.

All notes can be viewed at once within the manage coaching view or on the employee's dashboard (coaching tab).
