Sort and page

5
Open a goal
Click the goal’s title. Hover over a title to see its description.
Identify the creator and owner
Created By is the person who created the goal. Owner is the person now responsible for it. Changing or clearing the owner keeps the creator. A goal with no owner shows Unassigned, and missing creator details show Unknown creator. Goals created before owners existed stay Unassigned until an editor chooses an owner.Read the summary
The summary at the top of the page shows three numbers for the goals in your company scope.
Table filters do not change these numbers. Status and Progress are separate fields. A Completed status does not set progress to 100%, and Past due looks at the due date and progress, not the status.
