Configuring the Goal Plan Global Settings

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure the global settings, text replacement process and soft warnings in the goal plan template

Global Settings

All the elements and attributes of the XML from the beginning of the file through the <text-replacement> element are global settings and are used throughout the goal plan template.

Attributes of a Goal Plan Template

The attributes that determine some of the behaviors in the Goal Plan template are specified within the <obj-plan-template> tag. Some examples are the minimum and maximum number of goals that should exist in the Goal Plan, the visibility of the new goals created or the total weight from the sum of all the goal weights that should be allowed.

The code below is an example of the XML code including attributes for the Goal Plan template. If an attribute is not listed in the XML, it is not be available or enforced in the instance. For example, if the min-weight attribute is not specified, then a minimum weight is not defined for this particular goal plan.

This feature is related to the calculated fields but is specific to displaying total scores.

Goal Plan Counts and Weights

Minimums and maximums can be set for weights and for counts, as follows:

The sum of all goal weights in the goal plan

The supported weight value for an individual goal

The number of goals on an entire goal plan

If a goal or plan is not meeting the conditions set, a soft warning will appear on the goal plan. This soft warning is not strictly enforced; there is nothing stopping the user from exceeding the configured limits, except for the individual goal weights, which are always enforced in the goal plan.

The hard stop for the sum of all goal weights and the total number of goals occurs when the goals are populated to the performance form. Until that point the goal plan is still considered a working plan, so these restrictions are not enforced and they are just informative.

Weights and counts cannot be set in Manage Templates , and must be configured in the XML.

When configuring counts and/or weights, keep the following in mind:

It is not required that both a minimum and a maximum are configured. For example, if no maximum is required, do not include that attribute in the XML.

Goal Plan Counts

In order to display the goal plan counts, a minimum or a maximum plan count must be set. The attributes to control the count for the entire goal plan are found under the main <obj-plan-template> element:

If the customer wants the entire goal plan to have at least 5 goals, but no more than 10 goals, the XML code appears as in the figure Goal Plan Counts:

successfactors global assignment configurationXML AttributeDescription Category label The goal plan instruction section (on top of the goal plan page, above the summary section). The goal plan template instructions can be easily changed from

Control of Text Replacement

Text replacement is controlled by the <text-replacement> element, which appears directly after the <obj-plan-numbering> end tag. The data string can include HTML tags. If the customer wants instructions to appear at the top of the goal plan, the XML code must appear as in figure Text Replacement Instructions with the appropriate language and links modified:

Unlike the other text replacement options, the instructions can be added from either Manage Templates or XML
