A Touchpoints Template allows configuration of the agenda layout, including which sections appear and who can view/edit them. This helps standardize conversations across the organization. It has no link to payroll or tax handling. 

A Rating Model is required in a profile type if you want to evaluate skills or competencies. It defines the scoring scale (e.g., Beginner to Expert) used when assigning proficiency levels. It supports comparative assessments and talent reviews. 

Each section in the performance template includes a visibility configuration. Here, you can decide if scores are visible to employees, managers, or both. This allows flexibility based on evaluation culture some prefer open scoring while others hide it until finalization.

To create a strong succession plan for multiple similar jobs with high turnover, you should use the Job or Position plan type, which allows planning for roles rather than individuals. This is ideal when the roles share skill sets. Additionally, adding a large number of candidates increases the plan's strength and flexibility, ensuring multiple viable successors are available when needed. The Incumbent plan type is more suitable for individual-specific planning. 

Candidates can be added to a Talent Pool in Oracle Talent Management Cloud using the following methods: • A. Added using Select and Add – You can manually search for and select specific individuals to add to the talent pool. • C. Find Best Fit – This tool allows you to search for employees whose profiles best match the requirements of the talent pool and then add them. Options B and D involve different talent planning components (succession plans and talent reviews), and E (upload via spreadsheet) is not supported for adding candidates to a talent pool.
