Must the total weight of ad hoc goals equal 100?
- How do theCascade GoalsandManage Goalsbusiness processes work together?
- TheCascade Goalsbusiness process automatically initiates 1Manage Goalssubprocess for each employee you assign the goals to. Each employee can have a different definition of theManage Goalsbusiness process, depending on their supervisory organization. After initiation, theManage Goalsprocess runs all additional steps or notifications. If the process has no workflow steps, thenManage Goalsis automatically completed. IfManage Goalsincludes notifications, the employee receives the notification at the specified workflow step.
- Can theManage Goalsbusiness process include different actions and notifications for different goal types?
- Yes. You can create condition rules based on theCascaded GoalandContains only Editable Goalsreport 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 aReview Goalaction step to theManage Goalsbusiness process and route the step to theEmployee as Selfsecurity group. On theReview Goalstep, build a condition rule using theCascaded Goalreport 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 theManage GoalsandCascade Goalsbusiness 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. TheMy GoalsandView Goals for Workerreports reflect the updated weighting when the review is completed.
