Additional Information

  • It is not possible to transport Goal Plan XML templates between tenants when they are on different versions of Goal Management i.e. the source tenant is on legacy version and the target tenant is on the latest version.
  • When transporting a Goal Plan Template where the plan ID already exists on the target environment, the transport will overwrite the template.
