Manage Check-In Rating Categories

When a coaching session is closed out, each check-in has an optional rating (these ratings are scored on a 1-5 point scale). Ratings provide an outlet for managers to give feedback directly to their employees.

The default rating categories within Ambition are Preparedness, Engagement, and Coachability.
