This article explains the order of goals in latest goal.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Goal Management
Resolution
In Latest Goal Management:
- The display of goals in goal plan is in ascending order by creation date. It is currently not supported to change the goal order.
- When cascading goals or creating goals by "Copy from Goal Plan", the display of goals in the selection window is in descending order by creation date. It is designed this way to help users find the newly created goal more quickly.
Note:
When cascading multiple goals at one time or creating multiple goals when using "Copy from Goal Plan", the order of cascaded/created goals will be in the same order as that of the goals in the selection window.
For example:
On manager user's goal plan page, the goals created and displayed: goal 1, goal 2, goal 3, goal 4, goal 5. When cascading the goal to direct reports, the order of goals in cascade window will be goal 5, goal 4, goal 3, goal 2, goal 1. After cascading the five goals to one direct report at one time, on the direct report's goal plan, the goals are displayed as goal 5, goal 4, goal 3, goal 2, goal 1.
Same display logic applies to creating multiple goals using "Copy from Goal Plan".
As a workaround to this, user can cascade/create one goal at a time.
