Considerations for Restricting Library Goals from Development Goal Library

Your organization might want to restrict the library goals that employees and managers can use to create a development goal to add to the employee's development plan. They might want to show only library goals that are relevant to a person's business unit, department, legal entity, and job family.

How to Enable Library Goals Restriction

To restrict library goals shown, your administrators need to do these tasks:

  1. Edit the Career Development feature in the Workforce Development offering. Then, enable the Restrict Library Goal option.
  2. Define the workforce structure parameters such as business unit, department, legal entity, and job family for a library goal.

What Happens If Library Goals Are Restricted

This table lists how the library goals are restricted for Talent Management users when your administrator enables this feature.
