Reproducing the Issue

Go to the Goal or Development Plan and you receive an error message:
Error accessing goal plan.png

Cause

Access to the last viewed template may have been removed.

  • While the admin can set the default for a goal plan, this will only apply to new users since an individuals personal settings are "sticky", meaning the system is going to remember the last goal plan a user views and show that to them.
  • What the employee last viewed overrides the default setting. And if access to the last viewed template is removed, the system can throw the above error. 

Resolution

To remdy this, go to:

  1. Admin Center 
  2. Manage Templates
  3. Open the Goal or Developent Goal profile
  4. Select the template you want the user to have access to and make it the default
  5. Log out and back in to refresh RBP
  6. Now the user should have access to the template and you can change the default back to the original without affecting this.
