SAP SuccessFactors Goal Management

1. Go to Goals
2. Select another employee’s goals who has a goal cascaded to them
3. View the text display problem

This is a configuration issue. The users who run into this problem only have read access to the metric lookup table and nothing else.  The users who do not run into this problem also have read access to the goal name field. The align up from required read access to the name field for deeplink information to the parent’s goal, without this it will read and display incorrectly.
