Role-based Approval Enhancement for Goal Assignment

If your administrator has enabled approvals for manager assigned goals, then the performance goal managers try to assign to their team members from their Team Goals Center will be assigned only after the manager’s manager approves the goal assignment.

New Goal to Assign

The goal plan the manager selected on their Team Goals Center is the goal plan associated with the goal approval.

Goal Plan Submitted for Approval Notification

This goal plan is locked on the manager’s Goals Center page until their manager approves or rejects the goal assignment.

Goal Plan Locked for Approval

The manager’s manager is notified about the goal assignment. They can either approve or reject the goal assignment.

Approval Notification Sent to Manager’s Manager

After the manager’s manager approves or rejects the goal assignment, the corresponding goal plan is unlocked on the manager’s Goals Center. If the manager’s manager has approved the assignment, then the manager can see that the goal’s assigned when they view their team member’s Goals page.

Goal Assigned to Team Member After Approval

Streamline your organization’s goal assignment process by enabling approvals for goal assignment of managers. This will ensure that only the needed goals are assigned to team members.

Steps to Enable

To enable Redwood Goals Center and next level of approval for goal assignment, you need to enable the profile options indicated in the table.

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
ORA_HRG_PERF_GOAL_ROLE_BASED_APPROVL	Role Based Approvals for Performance Goals Enabled	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.

For more information about setting profile option values, see the How do I enable a profile option? FAQ on Oracle Help Center.

Ensure that approvals are enabled for the Approve Performance Goal rule in Transaction Console.
