Set Up Individual Goals

Set Up Individual Goals

You can configure which options are available when you create, edit, view or archive individual and cascaded goals. You can hide or require fields for either:
  • All workers.
  • Workers in specific security groups.
  1. Set up initiating actions on the
    Manage Goals
     business process security policy to control what operations workers and managers can perform for goals.
  2. Access the
    Maintain Goal Setup
     task.
    In the
    Configure Individual Goals
     section, add a row for each field you want to hide or require for individual goals.
    As you complete the grid, consider:
    Option
    Description
    Field
    Don't add optional fields to the grid. Workday enables all individual goal fields as viewable and optional for all workers by default.
    Criteria
    Workday doesn't display the
    Require for All
     option for all fields. When you select
    Security Group
    , specify the groups you want the field hidden from or required for.
    Enforce Required in Web Service
    (Optional) If you:
    • Require the goal field and select the check box, Workday sends a validation message in the web service when you don't include the goal field.
    • Require the goal field but don't select the check box, Workday doesn't send a validation message when you don't include the field in the web service.
