  • The progress or percentage complete value of goals is auto-calculated using different formulas. The formula depends on whether the goal has only targets, a combination of sub-goals and targets, and if it has weighted average calculation enabled.

    Scenario Formula used to calculate the progress value of the goal
    • The goal has targets.
    • The goal doesn’t have sub-goals.
    • No weight scale defined for targets.
    Progress value of the goal = Sum of progress values of its associated targets / number of targets
    • The goal has sub-goals and targets.
    • No weight scale defined for sub-goals and targets.
    Progress value of the goal = Sum of progress values of its sub-goals and associated targets / number of sub-goals and targets
    • The goal has two targets (target 1 and target 2).
    • The goal doesn’t have sub-goals.
    • Weight scale defined for targets and the sn_gf.weighted_average_enabled system property is set to Yes.
    Progress value of the goal = [(Progress of target 1 * Weight scale of target 1) + (Progress of target 2 * Weight scale of target 2)] / (Weight scale of target 1 + Weight scale of target 2)
    • The goal has two targets (target 1 and target 2).
    • The goal has two sub-goals (sub-goal 1 and sub-goal 2).
    • Weight scale defined for sub-goals and targets and the sn_gf.weighted_average_enabled system property is set to Yes.
    Progress value of the goal = [(Progress of sub-goal 1 * Weight scale of sub-goal 1) + (Progress of sub-goal 2 * Weight scale of sub-goal 2) + (Progress of target 1 * Weight scale of target 1) + (Progress of target 2 * Weight scale of target 2)] / (Weight scale of sub-goal 1 + Weight scale of sub-goal 2 + Weight scale of target 1 + Weight scale of target 2)
