    Important Upgrade Instructions

    • After upgrading to Goal Framework for SPM version 2.3.0 (Xanadu), run the Migrate BreakdownInterval To Checkinfrequency scheduled job. This job migrates existing values from the Review frequency and Breakdown interval fields into the new Check-in frequency field in target records.
    • This migration ensures consistency in how target progress is tracked and updated post-upgrade.

    Key Features Introduced

    • Enhanced Target Breakdowns: From Xanadu onwards, you can create target breakdowns at daily, weekly, or monthly intervals, aligned with the value set in the Check-in frequency field. For example, selecting monthly frequency for a year-long target creates 12 monthly breakdowns.

    Changes to Existing Features

    • Target Form Updates: The Breakdown interval and Cumulative target fields were removed. The Review frequency field was renamed to Check-in frequency, simplifying and standardizing progress tracking.
    • New Goal System Properties (Zurich): Users with the sngfgoaladmin role can now update goal-specific system properties:
      • sngfa.weeklyCheckInDayToMapMonth: Defines which weekday ends the week for mapping weekly breakdowns to months (default is Friday).
      • glide.ui.sngfgoaltargetactivity.field: Enables the activity stream for target fields.
      • sngfa.targetbreakdowndecimals: Sets decimal precision for target values in breakdowns (default is 2).
