After scheduling, open the cycle in People > Cycles to follow each step, act on one person or on the whole cycle and, at the end, close it. To create a cycle, see Skill map cycles.

The Overview tab shows, for each step, how many people finished, how many are in progress, open, late or waiting for the previous step. The timeline shows each step with the part already finished and a line on today's date; hover over a step to see its dates.

The People tab shows each person's status in each step, with the date they finished or the deadline, and the next planned send. This is where you find out why someone has not received an e-mail yet. Search by name or e-mail, filter by step and status, and use the buttons next to the name and the e-mail to copy them.

When a person is not part of a step, the column shows Out of this step and the reason right below:

The form warns about chained steps before scheduling. See how to avoid this case in Skill map cycles.

The menu of each row has Extend this person's deadline and Remove from the cycle. What they already answered stays stored. The Add people button brings in whoever joined the company after scheduling; they get the maps of the position they hold.

Click the person's name, or use Cycle history in the row menu, to see their profile, map and assessments across all cycles.

A cycle with an endorsement step gets the Endorsement tab, with who endorses each person and the status of each endorsement. See Endorsement in a cycle.

The Applied content tab shows the map or the questions each step applied, revision by revision, and the Evolution tab compares the cycle's maps with a closed cycle. See Compare results across cycles.

In the header menu you can:

The actions of each step are in the same menu, grouped under its name. Send now sends the step to whoever has not received it. Make a new revision is for after you change a map: people who have not received it get the new version, and people who already did keep the one they got. Closing, canceling and the other actions that cannot be undone ask for confirmation.

In Edit, a scheduled or open cycle shows the steps as tabs. E-mail texts, reminders, deadlines, the entry rule and skipping who completed recently can still be edited, and the changes apply to every e-mail not sent yet, including those of people already in the cycle. Once a step is sent, its activity, send and dependencies no longer change.

The cycle closes by itself on its date. To close it earlier, use Close now; the confirmation shows, for each step, how many people have not finished yet.

When the cycle closes, whoever has not answered stays pending, the maps of the cycle stop taking answers and the assessment invites nobody started expire. The results are kept as they were, to compare with the next cycle.

In an assessment of a closed cycle, accepting an appeal, annulling a question, changing a final grade or applying the integrity rule again asks for confirmation in Apply anyway. The change is made and kept as a revision of the result, with who made it and the previous value.
