Enforce Goal Policies

Prior to this enhancement, when creating goals, users did not know the minimum number of required goals in a review period.

With this enhancement, administrators can configure, a minimum and maximum number of required goals for a Division, and a total weight limit for goals.

The system now displays the message on My Goals page for the minimum number of required goals. Additionally, the system now enforces the maximum number of goals limit and total weight limit via Review tasks.

Users can see these requirements on the My Goals page.

If any of these limits are exceeded, error messages appear:

Considerations

  • Neither Reviewees nor Reviewers of a Review task will be able to breach the configured weight and maximum goal limit via a Review task​.
  • This feature works best when the following Corporate Preference option is enabled: Goals preferences and configuration respect the goal owner’s OU. Changes made to this setting affects all goals.

Implementation

This functionality is automatically enabled for all organizations using the Performance Goals module.
