Edit a goal framework

Prev Next

Once a framework has been created, it can always be updated, even if it is in use.

To create a goal framework, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Quick-access menu > Goals > Manage goals.
  2. Alongside the goal framework you wish to edit, click the cog icon. 
  3. You can update an existing framework’s name and description. The scale is locked to maintain data consistency.
  4. Click Save changes when you are done. 

On the Manage goals page, in the Actions column, you can change a goal framework's visibility with the eye icon, delete it with the cross icon, or reorder your goal frameworks with the arrows. 

If a framework is hidden it does not affect any existing assigned goals; it just prevents goals from the framework being selected or assigned in the future. 

Deleting a framework permanently deletes all of its goals, as well as any assignments to those goals and any goal achievement data for those goals.
