Goal Status Report

The Goal Status Report summarizes the status of all goals for specific users during a specific time period. This report graphically displays the percentage of all goals that are in each progress status (e.g., Completed, On Track, Behind).

Note: When reporting on another user's goals, only submitted goals are displayed. However, when reporting on your own goals, then goals in Draft status are displayed.

This report is interactive and the output can be edited and altered after it is displayed.

Note: Goal statuses are configured on the Goal Configuration preferences page. Administrators can configure the status name, color, and condition, so the statuses may vary by portal. See Goals Configuration - Status Administration.

To access the Goal Progress report, go to Reports > Standard Reports. From the Performance tab, click the Goal Status Report link.

Criteria

Filter Name Description
Date Criteria Filter your results by date. If any part of a goal falls within that time frame, the goal will display. The default date criteria are specified by OU on the Goals Preferences page. Note: Date Criteria is always implemented using UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
User Criteria Limit results to the users matching the specified user criteria. This is required. If your permission to run the report is constrained to a specific subset of the population, that constraint is displayed above the User Criteria selection list and you are not required to make a User Criteria selection. An additional selection can be made to narrow the results further, but if no User Criteria selection is made, the report is run for all available users.
Perspective Limit results to a specific Perspective.
Display OU Select an Organizational Unit to display that information on the report. For example, if you select the Position OU, each user's position will display in the report. This is optional.

Output

Each view displays a pie chart representing the number of goals in each status. Status can be determined by goal, task, and target progress and can also factor in the amount of time remaining for completion. Clicking any of the pieces of the pie will filter the list of results to only the status that was clicked. For example, if you click the On Track section, only goals in On Track status will display.

Note: When reporting on another user's goals, only submitted goals are displayed. However, when reporting on your own goals, then goals in Draft status are displayed.

There are export options for each view, including Printable Version and Export to Excel. Each option exports the current view of goals, but does not include the pie chart.

You can select different view options from the Grouped By drop-down list.

If there are more than 25 results, you can navigate between the pages using the navigation options on the right.

Status can be turned off on the Goal Configuration page. If Status is turned off for any OU being returned as a result, Status will display as NA for those goals.

Each column in this report can be sorted upon.

Note: Field names may be customizable by the system administrator, so your field names may vary.

Clicking any of the pieces of the pie will filter the list of results to only the status that was clicked. The grouping of the results is unchanged, so if you were viewing the results by Perspective, they will still be grouped by Perspective.

Click the Show All Statuses link to view all statuses again.

Configuration Options

The following labels can be configured on the Goal Configuration page, and this report will match what is configured there:

  • Goal, Perspective, Start Date, Due Date, Status

Progress can be turned off on the Goal Configuration page. If Progress is turned off for your OU or that of a goal being displayed, progress will display as NA for those goals.

The name and color associated with the goal status is based on the OU of the user running the report. However, the rules to determine the status are based on goal, task, and target progress and can also factor in the amount of time remaining for completion. Statuses settings can be configured by OU on the Goal Configuration page.

Goal visibility is set on the Goal Preferences screen. For goals that you do not have the proper permissions to view, you will not see a detailed status. For example, for your supervisor's goals, you will not see a detailed status (On Track, Critical). Instead you will see a general status (In Progress, Not Started).

Shared Goals & Goal Weight

For shared goals, the shared goal is not included in the report output for users with whom the goal is shared. The shared goal can only be included for the user who is the goal owner. As a result, the goal weight in the report output does not include the shared goal for users who are not the goal owner. A shared goal is only factored into the goal weight for the user who is the goal owner.
