Employee Goal Assistant Agent: Trigger Approvals for New or Updated Goals

The Employee Goals Assistant AI agent has been enhanced to consider approval configurations. If approvals are enabled, when you create or update a performance or development goal using this agent, you’ll be prompted to confirm if want to submit the goal for approval. After confirmation, the goals are submitted for approval and changes will be done to your goal plan or development plan only if they are approved. If approvals aren’t required, the changes are applied immediately.

Business Benefit

Ensure that goal changes are approved and enhance your goal management process.

Steps to enable and configure

Your environment must have certain necessary configurations. Ask your help desk to contact Oracle Support, who can verify what your environment has and address any gaps. For more information, see FAQ2521 on My Oracle Cloud Support.
