Goal Approval Request Enhancements

Prior to this enhancement, when a change is made on an approved goal and sent again for approval, the approver can’t see the change until they approve the goal again. This can be confusing because the goal is now approved, and the approver may be unaware of updates or which goal includes the update.

With this enhancement, when approvers select the goal approval link in the Request Goal Approval email, the Universal Profile Requests tab opens and displays pending goals and the option to View History for the selected goal before approving.

How Does this Enhancement Benefit My Organization?

Users who select the link in the Request Goal Approval email are now directed to the pre-filtered Universal Profile Requests tab to review goals, instead of the Pending Goals page in Manage Subordinates.

Considerations

Request Goal Approval email must be set up in Email Administration and email must include the GOAL.APPROVAL.LINK tag.

Implementation

This functionality is automatically enabled for all organizations.
