# Adding a Performance card

#### Navigation: People | Lifecycle | Performance | Performance cards catalogue

---

Once you've navigated to the Performance bubble in People | Lifecycle, select the Performance cards catalogue bubble. This will take you to a catalogue of all the cards that have been created already.

          TIP

          

If this is your first time creating a card in Jemini, the catalogue may be empty.

## How to add a card

To create a new card, select the **Add card** button at the top right of the page. This will open the **ADD PERFORMANCE CARD** panel on the right.

1. Enter the **NAME** of your Performance card and a DESCRIPTION if you wish.
2. Select the **CARD RATING TYPE** backpack to choose the type of rating you want to use - whether it's using a standard star rating or a colour indicator.
3. Select and choose **WHO CAN ADD CARD RATINGS, WHO CAN CHANGE THE WEIGHTING TO THIS CARD, WHO CAN ADD CARD NOTES, WHO CAN ADD ATTACHMENTS, WHO CAN ADD LINKS** and **WHO CAN'T SEE THIS CARD**. These backpacks allow you to manage what the Employee sees and what the Manager sees. Make sure you select the *Submit* icon at the bottom right of each backpack to save your selection.
4. Expand the **GOALS** section.
5. Select whether **ADDITIONAL GOALS CAN BE ADDED** and whether to **APPLY WEIGHTING TO GOALS**.  

**NOTE:** Selecting **No** *won't* apply a weighting to the goals. Selecting **Variable weighting** *will* apply the desired weighting to each goal.
6. Select and choose **WHO CAN'T SEE THE GOALS, WHO CAN ADD A RATING TO EACH GOAL**, and **WHO CAN ADD NOTES TO EACH GOAL**.
7. Once you have selected the general goal settings, you can enter each goal by selecting **Add a goal**. Under **GOAL**, type the name of your goal, then enter the **DESCRIPTION**.
8. Once you enter the name of the goal, it'll automatically save. You can continue to add more goals by selecting **Add a goal** again. Or you can minimise the Goals window by selecting the *minimiser arrows* icon at the panel's top right.
9. Under **Settings**, choose the card's weighting by dragging the blue circle along the horizontal bar.
10. Select the card's **ACTIVE** status. Changing the status to **No** will prevent the card from appearing in an Employee's or Manager's Card catalogue until you activate it.
11. Save your changes by selecting the ***Submit*** icon.

### What's a Rating type?

If you already have cards in your catalogue, you'll see each card has a rating type: either a star or a coloured circle. You can choose a rating type when you add a card. A **Star Rating** allows Managers and Employees to rate the Employee's performance out of five stars. A **Colour Indicator** allows Managers and Employees to rate the Employee's performance using different colours to represent different levels of achievement. There are four colours: Red, Orange, Green and Blue.

### What's a Weighting?

Adjusting the weighting of a goal allows you to increase or decrease the value a goal has towards the overall rating of a card. For example, if you choose a goal in a card that uses star ratings and set the goal to a 50% weighting, it will only count towards 2.5 of the 5 stars.

### What to do once you've created your cards

Once you've created your cards you'll want to add them to Groups. Navigate to the Groups catalogue by selecting the **Groups catalogue** button at the top left of the Performance cards catalogue screen, then follow the **Adding a Performance group** instructions.
