      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.

        • Access by Downline: Specify who should have visibility into the team goal- the Owner's Direct Reports or the Owner's Downline
        • Access by Attributes: Specify the demographic attribute that should have visibility into the team goal, e.g. if the goal is specific to a location, use the office's location attribute to include all employees from that office

          • As you enter attributes, the number of relevant users can be accessed and viewed as a CSV file 
      6. Continue to configure and create the goal

      Add a User to a Team Goal Already In-Progress

        • Note: This does not update the Goal Owner

        • Downline: All employees in the downline of the employee in Figure A are automatically added as members

      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.

        • 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
