Cancel Primary Development Plans

Prior to this enhancement, users were unable to cancel their primary development plan. In some cases, plans created by mistake or to test functionality, become the “primary” plan if there were no other development plans.

With this enhancement, users can cancel primary development plans, even when it is the only development plan available.

To access a development plan, go to Home > Universal Profile and select the Snapshot tab. Then, select the Development Plans widget.

Starter Guide/Adoption Kit

Considerations

There is no change to who can cancel a development plan. Users can cancel their own plans, and, when configured in Development Plan Preferences, managers can cancel development plans for their subordinates.

Implementation

This functionality is on by default.

Permissions

The following existing permission applies to this functionality:

Best Practice: For most users, this permission should be constrained by User Self and Subordinates.
