    Tip: Understanding Mismatches in Totals

    You may sometimes notice that the sum of feedback ratings (S.Y / Y / S.N / N) does not match the Total Interviews count. Here’s why:

    • If the split is greater than the total interviews
      → This indicates panel interviews, where multiple interviewers have submitted feedback for the same session.

    • If the split is less than the total interviews
      → This suggests that some interviews are missing evaluations, meaning feedback hasn't been submitted yet.
