“Twice a year every employee writes a self-review, then their manager adds their assessment and a rating. Managers should only see reviews for their own team.”

In plain English
A performance review portal is where each employee writes their self-review and their manager adds an assessment to the same record, with every manager seeing only their own reports' reviews. It follows the Requests pattern: someone submits, someone decides, it moves through statuses. Pory generates it from a plain-English description, with a login for each role (employee and manager) that shows only what that role should see, and flat pricing with unlimited employees.
What it does
Review season meant a Word template emailed out, filled in, emailed back and pasted into another document for the manager. In Pory the employee writes their self-assessment and goals for next half in a form, and their manager adds an assessment and rating to that same record. Both halves stay together, and nobody hunts for the attachment named final-FINAL.
Keeping review documents in a shared drive meant one wrong folder setting and a whole department could read each other's feedback. In Pory a manager signs in and sees reviews for the people who report to them, and each employee sees only their own. Nobody has to police folder access every review season.
Pory generates a portal from these pieces and wires the permissions between them. The same parts run a grant round, a help desk, and a tenant portal — only the names on the pages change.
Collect
Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.
An application page, a notice board, an open directory — pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.
People create their own account and land in the role you chose for them.
Upload and view files on the record they belong to — not in a folder named FINAL v2.
Decide
Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.
“Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.
Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.
Task lists ticked off per record, with progress — onboarding runs, inspections, opening duties.
Name who a record is for and it lands on their list, and nobody else's.
A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note — kept on the record it belongs to, never lost in a thread.
Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.
Share
Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit — the spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.
Portraits, names, and roles from a table, shown only to the roles allowed to see them.
Records on a month or week view, by date.
Records as cards or photos.
A shareable pop-up with a record's details and what's linked to it. Edit, change status, or add a linked record from there.
Check-in details, benefits, updates — a page for a role to read.
Live figures over the rows a viewer is allowed to read.
Control
Own, assigned, managed, and team rows; hidden fields per role. Generated from your description, not configured field by field.
A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.
Your domain, your colours, your logo. Members see you.
On purpose
A portal runs a program, a service, or a process. These jobs belong to tools built for them, and Pory keeps the records around them instead.
Pory tracks who owes what and who has paid. It doesn't collect the money — keep your payment tool for that.
Availability, capacity, time zones, and reschedules are a whole product. Pory holds what happens after the booking.
No feeds, threads, likes, or polls. A note on a record, yes; a forum, no. Where members talk is another tool's job.
Pory keeps the service record, not the map.
Describe it in a sentence and send the invite. Unlimited employees, flat price.
