Why are some actions disabled for development goals?

Validations are done for actions of development goals. If any of these validations fail, then the goal actions are disabled.

All goal actions are disabled for these use cases:

  • The person hasn't been assigned privileges to perform the goal actions.
  • Approvals are pending for the development plan.

This table shows when goal actions are enabled and when they're disabled. The first column in the table lists the goal actions. The other columns indicate if the action is enabled or not for various use cases.

Note:

The goal action is disabled even if the validation fails for a single use case.

This table shows when actions are enabled and when they're disabled for goals that are part of performance or check-in documents.
