There are two goal-setting systems available in Totara. You can choose which system you would like to enable on your site via Configure features.
As a Site Administrator, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Configure features > Perform settings (/admin/settings.php?section=advancedfeatures_perform).
- For the Enable goals setting, select either Totara goals or Legacy goals.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Save button.
If you have both multitenancy and tenant isolation enabled then goals will not be available for your site's users if Legacy goals is selected.
