Frequently Asked Questions

• Q What are the major changes?
• A The primary change is the capability to route
  forms electronically and the availability of the
  digital signature, saving units time and money.

13
Frequently Asked Questions

• Q Why was there a phase-in period for AFRC
  performance reports?
• The phased approach was primarily due to the
  limited period to develop a robust vPC-GR
  capability before the ARC implementation date.
  To release an enhanced version before February
  would have prohibited sufficient time for testing
  and training, so critical to a successful launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q If the digital signature locks the data
  entered by the evaluator, and those signatures
  cannot be removed, how can I make changes to the
  report as it goes through coordination?
• A Keep in mind, the report cannot be signed
  prior to the close-out date of the report. If
  your unit pre-coordinates a draft prior to the
  close-out date, the evaluation cannot be signed.
  The unsigned draft can be coordinated and changed
  until it is in final format. Once the close-out
  date arrives and the entire rating chain agrees
  the evaluation is in final format, the evaluators
  can sign the form. Once the form is signed,
  changes can be made by cutting and pasting from
  the incorrect evaluation to a new form, making
  the changes and signing the new form.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q Why change now with the Defense Integrated
  Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS) coming
  online?
• A Integrated Process Teams, which included a
  cross section of Air Force personnel, recommended
  going forward with electronic evaluations now
  rather than waiting on DIMHRS implementation.
  The technology is available now and with the
  expeditionary nature of our Air Force today, it
  makes sense to take advantage of the technology
  available. The implementation of the new process
  does not impact DIMHRS and these new forms will
  continue to be used after DIMHRS is active.
