The cumulative evaluation must be shared with the candidate.  Navigate back to the “Case Materials” tab, scroll down to the “Cumulative Evaluations” section, open the section using the arrow in the lefthand corner, click the checkbox next to the evaluation document, then click “Share,” “With Candidate.”

Note: The recommendation is not automatically shared with the candidate when the form is completed.
