Redwood - Submit Individual Performance Goals For Approval

Employees now have the flexibility to make incremental changes to a performance goal plan that’s in pending approval status. They can add performance goals or edit goals that haven’t yet been submitted for approval in the goal plan. For example, if a goal plan has five goals, and two of them have been submitted for approval, an employee can make edits to the other three goals and submit them for approval. When such changes are made, the previous approval request is replaced with a new request that includes all the latest changes.

Goals Pending Submission for Approval

NOTE: This feature is only available in Redwood and must be enabled through a profile option.

By enabling incremental approvals for goal changes or additions, this feature enhances the usability of goal approvals.

Steps to Enable

To use this feature, you need to enable Redwood Goals Center by enabling the profile options indicated in this table:

Profile Options to Enable Redwood Goals Center

Profile Option Code	Profile Option Display Name	Value
ORA_HCM_VBCS_PWA_ENABLED	Enable VBCS Progressive Web Application User Interface	Y
ORA_HRA_PERFORMANCE_DOCUMENTS_AND_GOALS_REDWOOD_ENABLED	Enable Redwood Performance Documents and Goals Center	Yes

NOTE: The Performance Document, Check-in, and Goals Center features are closely connected. So, the Redwood version of these pages can all be enabled or disabled only using the common ORA_HRA_PERFORMANCE_DOCUMENTS_AND_GOALS_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option. These features can't be enabled individually.

You also need to enable the profile option, ORA_HRG_PERF_GOAL_LVL_APPROVL. For more information about setting profile option values, see the Set Profile Option Values topic in the Implementing Applications guide on Oracle Help Center.

Additionally, you need to use the Approve Performance Goal task in Transaction Console and disable the Bypass Approvals feature. For information about this task, see the Overview of Performance Goal Approval Rules topic in the Implementing Goal Management guide on Oracle Help Center.
