FAQ: Individual Goals

Must the total weight of ad hoc goals equal 100?
How do the
Cascade Goals
and
Manage Goals
business processes work together?
The
Cascade Goals
business process automatically initiates 1
Manage Goals
subprocess for each employee you assign the goals to. Each employee can have a different definition of the
Manage Goals
business process, depending on their supervisory organization. After initiation, the
Manage Goals
process runs all additional steps or notifications. If the process has no workflow steps, then
Manage Goals
is automatically completed. If
Manage Goals
includes notifications, the employee receives the notification at the specified workflow step.
Can the
Manage Goals
business process include different actions and notifications for different goal types?
Yes. You can create condition rules based on the
Cascaded Goal
and
Contains only Editable Goals
report fields to trigger workflow steps for specific goal types. Example: Build a condition rule that sends notifications only for cascaded goals, or include a review step only for cascaded goals that are editable.
How do I configure a review step for employees who receive cascaded goals?
Add a
Review Goal
action step to the
Manage Goals
business process and route the step to the
Employee as Self
security group. On the
Review Goal
step, build a condition rule using the
Cascaded Goal
report field to evaluate whether goals are cascaded before initiating the step.
Must the total weight of ad hoc goals equal 100?
No. You can establish a weighting scale for ad hoc goals by creating validation rules on the
Manage Goals
and
Cascade Goals
business processes.
Weights are locked on non-editable cascaded goals, except when the review template requires that total weighting equal 100. When you pull goals into such a template, you can change the goal weighting. The
My Goals
and
View Goals for Worker
reports reflect the updated weighting when the review is completed.
