Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Access Objectives

Navigate to Assess → Objectives in the sidebar to reach the Objectives dashboard.

Step 2: View your Objectives

The My Objectives tab displays:

  • Objectives you own – Where you're the designated owner

  • Objectives you contribute to – Where you own one or more Key Results

Step 3: Filter by time

Use the time filter to switch between:

  • Past – Completed or expired Objectives

  • Current – Active Objectives within their deadline period

  • Future – Objectives scheduled to start later

Step 4: Use advanced filters

Select Filters to narrow down by:

  • Objective name or description

  • Owner

  • Team or Group

  • Tags

  • Status

💡 Tip: Combine multiple filters to find exactly what you need—for example, all "Marketing" tagged Objectives owned by a specific team lead.

Step 5: Switch view modes

Toggle between two display options:

Log View – The default view showing Objectives as a structured list with progress bars. Best for reviewing status across multiple Objectives.

Chart View – A visual representation showing Objectives and their breakdown in chart format. Useful for presentations or high-level overviews.

Step 6: Navigate by level

Use the tabs to view Objectives by scope:

  • Individual – Personal targets set by you or your manager

  • Team – Goals for teams you belong to (use the team selector to switch between teams)

  • Company – Organisation-wide strategic goals visible to everyone

Step 7: Take quick actions

From any Objective, you can:

  • Edit – Modify details, Key Results, or settings

  • Update progress – Record new values for quantifiable Key Results

  • Mark complete – Finish Key Results manually

  • Align – Link to another Objective

  • Archive – Remove from active view while preserving history

Step 8: Export Objectives

To export your Objectives data:

  1. Apply any filters you need

  2. Select the Export button

  3. A CSV file will be generated and downloaded

The export includes Objective details, Key Results, notes, and progress information.


FAQs

Q: Why can't I see certain Objectives?
Some Objectives may be set to private. Private Objectives are only visible to the creator, owner, Key Result owners, and Admins.

Q: How do I see Objectives I contribute to but don't own?
These appear in your My Objectives tab under "Objectives you contribute to" – any Objective where you own a Key Result.

Q: Can I export Objectives data?
Yes. Use the Export button on any Objectives log view to download data as a CSV file.

Q: What do the status colours mean?

  • Not Started – Work hasn't begun

  • On Track – Progressing as expected

  • Behind – Falling short of expected progress

  • At Risk – Significant concerns about achieving the Objective

Q: How do I switch between teams in the Team view?
Use the team selector dropdown to choose which team's Objectives you want to view. You'll see teams you manage, teams you're a member of, and other teams in your organisation.
