4. Review Feedback Results: Once feedback is provided, the "Results" section will display the feedback you are authorized to see, as configured by the admins. This may include average scores and an AI-generated summary of the overall feedback, if enabled.
Managing Team Feedback
If you are a manager initiating feedback for a team member:
Go to the Team Feedback Section: Access the "My Team" tab within the Feedback module.
Select the Appropriate Cycle: Click on the 360-degree feedback cycle you initiated for your team member.
Request Feedback: In the "feedback providers" section, send out feedback requests to individuals relevant to the feedback process.

Verifying Visibility and Confidentiality Settings
Understanding visibility and confidentiality settings is crucial to ensure you are aware of who can see your feedback results and what information you have access to. Here’s how you can double-check these settings in your 360-degree feedback cycle:
Locate the Feedback Cycle: Navigate to the appropriate tab—"My 360-feedback" if checking for yourself, or "My Team" if you are a manager checking on behalf of a team member.
Open the Feedback Cycle Details: Click on the specific feedback cycle to view more details.
Read the Definitions: If there are predefined visibility settings such as Peers, Supervisors, and External, read the definitions provided beneath these categories to understand exactly what feedback is visible to whom.
Contact Admin for Clarifications: If you are unsure about any of the settings or need further explanation about the confidentiality protocols, reach out to your Teamflect administrator. They can provide detailed insights into how feedback visibility is configured and what implications it might have for your feedback.
