Edit a goal scale


Article Summary

Once a goal scale has been created, it can be selected and used within a framework. If a scale is in use, the Used column will say Yes and the Delete button will not be available. To edit an existing scale follow these steps:

  1. Go to Quick-access menu > Goals > Manage goals. 
  2. Scroll down to the list of goal scales. 
  3. Click the cog icon () under Options alongside the scale you wish to edit. 
  4. The existing scale values will be hidden. Click on the Click here link to view and edit the scale.
  5. To update a scale value, click the cog icon  ().
  6. After making changes, click Save changes.
The Default Value is automatically assigned to a user when they have not yet demonstrated the proficiency required by the goal's specified evidence item(s) (course/activity completion, or passing course/activity grade).
 
Consider complete values provide a way for the system to track if a user has completed a particular goal. A goal is considered complete if the scale value set has Consider complete set to Yes. You must have at least one scale value marked as consider complete and may have multiple selected. This value cannot be changed if a scale is already in use.

While editing a scale you will not be able to add new values, reorder values, or delete existing values in order to preserve data integrity. You can update the Scale value name, enter an optional ID number or change the Description of the item. Note that if you rename scale values it may confuse users when their proficiency changes without warning.

The Scale value numerical value is the quantitative value associated with the qualitative description in the name. Values with Consider complete set to Yes will have a value of 1, otherwise the value will be 0.
