## What is ranking for?

Ranking is an internal tool that lets managers **quickly distinguish profiles** when scheduling. A rating of 1 to 5 stars can be given to each employee to indicate their level of experience or autonomy. It does not replace a formal evaluation: it is a quick, private visual aid reserved for managers.

The ratings are never visible to the employees themselves.

## Enabling ranking

1. Go to **Settings ⚙️ → HR → Settings**.
2. Enable the option **Enable the ranking of your employees**.

Once enabled, the star icon appears in the profiles and in the schedule.

## Who can see and edit the ratings?

Only **administrators**, **HR managers** and **schedule managers** have access to the ratings. Employees never see their own evaluation.

## Where are the ratings visible?

Once ranking is enabled, the stars appear in several places:

- In the **employee list** (and in the Excel exports).
- On the **profile of each employee**.
- In the **schedule**: when selecting an employee to schedule, their rating is displayed. You can also filter to show only the employees with a certain rating.
- In the **Shyft-Market**: the stars help quickly choose the right profile for a free shift.

## How to give a rating?

Open the employee's profile and click the stars to give the desired rating (from 1 to 5). If no rating has been given, the stars stay empty.

## In summary

Ranking is a simple and discreet tool to save time during scheduling. It lets you spot at a glance the most experienced employees or those who benefit from particular support, without any public value judgment.
