Unlocking Approved Objectives for Midperiod Updates

Companies that want to allow employees to update their objectives in the middle of a period can unlock them for editing. This is useful when a new hire needs to begin the objectives process mid-period. When the administrator unlocks objectives, the objectives status is set to Not Started, and the approval process is repeated.

Objectives are unlocked at the organization level. A company may unlock objectives for organization A, but not for Organization B. The administrator can select all or some organizations when unlocking objectives.
