The multiple versions of the same forms allow you to have many appraisal forms with the same name for the employees in different departments having different competencies and goals.For example, the competencies of Sales department are different from the competencies of Development department. In such a scenario, you can create two competency forms with same name but different versions for different departments.

For example: As a common practice, the leadership has more weightage for competency forms and less for goal sheet form, whereas it is vice versa for junior employees. For the leadership or senior executives, you may need to give more weightage to the competencies form and less weightage to the goal sheet form, while making the total weight as 100.
