Goals Library

Administrators create and manage goals used within an appraisal from this screen.

A goal library provides administrators with the ability to add goal categories and goals, which are then added to a Performance Workflow on the Categories and Content steps of the Performance Workflow Wizard. The library allows a manager to add similar goals to his or her direct reports when creating appraisals. An administrator can create goal categories as general or as specific for use within an organization.

Note: When you edit metrics information: such as competencies, goals, or skills: in the metrics library, the edits are automatically reflected in the workflows that use those values. This eliminates the need to manually update labels and descriptions on the Workflow screen and makes it easier to fix typographical errors and accommodate changes in terminologies used in your company’s performance appraisal forms.

To preserve the historical integrity of past appraisals, any edits made to labels and descriptions affect only those that are launched after administrators save their changes. Past appraisals and appraisals that are pending at the time of the edit are not modified.
