1. Go to People Profile > navigate to the Development Objectives portlet.
2. Not all development objectives that appear in the Development module appear in the portlet. 

There are three reasons why you may not be seeing all Development Objectives in the portlet:

1. The portlet does not load all Development Objectives at first.

Initially, the portlet will load and display up to 2 development objectives per category. If the user has more than 2 development objectives, you'll need to click "Show more" to load and display all development objectives. 

     2. The Development Plan template is not configured to publish all objectives to the People Profile.

With the default Development Plan template configuration, the users need to decide to publish each development objective to the scorecard individually. Therefore, if the user does not take this action of publishing the objective, it will not display in the portlet. To publish an objective to the Scorecard, go to the Development Plan > click the menu for a development objective > click "Add Development Objective in Scorecard".


It's also possible to configure the Development Plan to publish all development objectives automatically to the Scorecard. For more information, refer to the section "What Development Goals appear in the portlet?" from the Wiki Page Development Plan - Development Objectives portlet for People Profile.

     3. The logged-in user does not have permissions to see all Development Objectives. 

The Development Objectives portlet follows the same permissions that are defined in the Development Plan template to display this content. There are permissions to view the development goals and to view private goals. So, if you are missing this permission for the target user, you will not be able to see the goals in the portlet. For more details, refer to the section "What permissions does the portlet respect?" from the Wiki Page Development Plan - Development Objectives portlet for People Profile.

Note: by default the Development portlet will not show all field labels configured to show in the People Profile. To see these field labels, you can click the 'Show More' button:

Once you click on this, the portlet will expand to show all field labels configured to show in PP3.

Note: to see data for each field you not only need permission to view the data but you also need to have the 'Show in People Profile Block' checkbox selected in the Development Plan template in Manage Templates:

Note 2: Only templates defined in Configure People Profile will appear for selection in the portlet:

Note 3: the 'name' field is a special reserved system field ID and is designed to display only the title or description given when the goal was created (and not the label given to it in the template). The label for the 'name' field will only display in the development plan.

Example below:

   a. This is the field label that will only show in the development plan.
   b. This is the goal name/ description that will appear in the portlet.

• In the template xml it is configured as <field-definition id="name"
• If the field "name" has not been configured in the Development Plan an error message will occur on the People Profile
• Further information on goal plan fields can be found in the Admin Guide.

For Support and Partners:

Note 4: Currently the Development Portlet supports the field types:

• type="date"
• type="textarea"
• type="enum"
• type="competencies"
• type="link"

Table fields ‘type="table" are not currently supported for display in the portlet.
