Mass Archive Individual Goals

Mass Archive Individual Goals

Security:
Set Up: Goals
domain in the Performance Enablement functional area.
You can mass archive all individual goals meeting a template rule in 1 operation. You can't archive goals for terminated workers, and the same restrictions for archiving goals also apply to mass archiving goals. Workday skips these goals during the mass archive operation and leaves them unarchived:
  • Goals saved for later and not yet submitted.
  • Goals that are part of an in-progress event. Examples: Goals included in-progress events using the
    Manage Goals
    business process, or goals included in in-progress employee reviews.
    To include the goals in the archive, complete or cancel the in-progress event.
Workday recommends you conduct advanced preparation and testing before starting the mass archive operation. For more information, see. Reference: Event-Specific Best Practices.
