Read the results
After a cycle finishes, use the decision metrics and the object review grid to assess the results:
- A high Unreviewed count means many reviewers did not act before the due date. Consider a longer review duration, better notification emails or reminder communications.
- A high Rejected count means reviewers decline because they feel they are not the right person. Check your reviewer assignment or the workspace ownership.
- Custom action usage shows how often reviewers use actions like Archive or Delete, which is the real governance impact of your reviews.
