# Configure Maintain constant tolerance

# Configure the tolerance for Maintain constant targets {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated September 30, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Change the tolerance band that determines whether a Maintain constant target is on target. The default tolerance is ±5%.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

A Maintain constant target is on target when the actual value stays within a tolerance band around the planned target. Administrators can change it with the sn_gf.maintain_constant_tolerance_percent
system property.

The tolerance is a percentage of the planned target. For example, if the planned target is 250 and the tolerance is 10%, an actual value from 225 to 275 meets the target for that period.

For more information about how Maintain constant targets are evaluated, see [Target types and achievement strategies](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jWa_x_l6bRp_PxWpWMFfXA "Target types in Strategic Planning Workspace define how goal achievement is measured: growth, reduction, staying within limits, or a yes/no milestone.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionSystem Properties.
2. Search for and open the sn_gf.maintain_constant_tolerance_percent system property.
3. In the Value field, enter the tolerance percentage as a whole number.  
   For example, enter 10 for a tolerance of ±10%. The default value is 5.
4. Select Update to save the changes.

## Result

Maintain constant targets use the new tolerance when the status of a target breakdown period is calculated.
