+
+### How to create an Appraisal Cycle
+1. Go to the Appraisal Cycle list, and click on New.
+2. Enter the Cycle Name.
+3. Select the Company and set the Start and End dates.
+4. Select the KRA Evaluation Method:
+Automated Based on Goal Progress (Default): Your KRA/Goal score will be automatically calculated based on your goal completion linked to that KRA. You can read more about here.
+Manual Rating: You can choose to rate Goals/KRAs manually. This is the original evaluation method used until v13.

+###Create Appraisals
+**You can create appraisals in bulk from the Appraisal Cycle.**
+
+1. In the "Applicable For" tab, set relevant filters to fetch the employees included in this cycle. You can choose to create separate cycles for a particular Branch, Department, or Designation. Ex: Engineering could have an yearly cycle but Sales might need a half-yearly cycle.
+2. After setting the filters, click on the Get Employees button and save. This will fetch the employees based on the set filters.
+3. You can check the Employees table to find the fetched employees. You can add more employees to be included in the cycle manually by clicking on the Add Row button.
+4. Click on the Create Appraisals button. This will create all the Appraisal documents for the selected employees.
+5. Click on Start button to start the cycle.
+
+If an employee joins after the cycle has already started, you can:
+
+Create an Appraisal document for them separately and select the cycle.
+Or, add rows for new employees in the cycle's Employees child table, save and click on Create Appraisals again. This will create appraisals for the newly added employees.
+
