Considerations for Restricting Library Goals

Your organization might want to restrict the library goals that employees and managers can see and add to their goal plan. They might want to show only 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. Enable the Restrict Library Goals Enabled profile 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 administrators enable this feature.

Manager or HR specialist adds a library goal to a team member’s goal plan from the person’s Goals page or spotlight page. Only library goals that are relevant to the team member’s assignment, business unit, department, legal entity, and job family
