Structured feedback forms for agent coaching
Scorecards & Coaching
What are Scorecards?
Scorecards are structured feedback forms you send to agents about specific calls. Unlike AI-generated check results, scorecards involve direct human feedback and can include agent self-reflection.
Use scorecards to:
- Provide formal coaching feedback
- Gather agent self-assessment
- Document coaching conversations
- Track coaching completion
Scorecard Workflow
Create Template → Send to Agent → Agent Completes → Manager Reviews
Status Flow
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| PENDING | Sent to agent, awaiting completion |
| COMPLETED | Agent submitted responses |
| REVIEWED | Manager reviewed the responses |
Scorecard Templates
Templates define the questions asked on scorecards. Create templates once, use them many times.

FAQ
Can I edit a scorecard after sending?
No. Once sent, the scorecard questions are frozen. You can cancel a pending scorecard and send a new one if needed.
Can agents edit their responses after submitting?
No. Once submitted, responses are final. This preserves the integrity of the coaching record.
Are scorecard responses visible to other agents?
No. Each agent only sees their own scorecards.
Can I send the same scorecard to multiple agents?
Not simultaneously. Send scorecards individually — each scorecard is tied to one agent and optionally one call.
What happens to scorecards if I delete an agent?
Scorecard assignments are deleted. If you need the history, export or document it first.
Can I require scorecards for certain calls?
Not automatically. Scorecards are sent manually. Consider using the Review Queue to identify calls that should receive scorecards.
Do scorecard responses affect the call score?
No. Scorecard responses are separate from AI-generated check results and scores. They're for coaching purposes only.
