Overview

Team Goals are one of several goal types available when creating goals in Quantum Workplace. 

A Team Goal allows the Goal Owner to automatically add Team Members to the Team Goal to easily collaborate and complete team-oriented goals. 

Team Members are exclusive to the Team Goal type and should not be confused with Goal Contributors and Followers.

Manage Permissions for Team Members

By default, users added as team members have the ability to update the goal.

For Public Team Goals, by default, members can add and remove Goal Contributors and Followers. Learn how to manage Goal Contributors and Followers.

The Owner of the Team Goal can update these settings to manage the members' permissions.

Note: The permissions of members are independent of the permissions and abilities of Goal Contributors and Followers.

  3. Click the edit icon to open the Edit Member Settings modal 
    • Depending on how members were initially selected, i.e. based on the Owner's relationship or by attributes, you will see one of two modals
  4. Listed under, Members of this goal can, enable/disable the members' permissions
    • Post Updates: Allows a member to update the goal progress
    • Add Users: Allows a member to add another employee as a Contributor and/or Follower
    • Modify Users: Allows a member to switch Contributors and Followers, or remove them altogether 
    • View Goal: Allows a member to view the team goal
      • This permission can only be toggled on/off if the goal is Restricted, and not Public
  5. Click Save
