SuccessFactors Goals Management: Threaded Comment field in Goal Plan

Comments are a note of fact or opinion, or a remark of attitude towards the Goal, and the comment field has now been improved to allow users to edit or delete their own comments. Users can collapse or expand the layout and edit or delete their own comments saved with a date-stamp and username. Previously, the field becomes read-only after it is entered.

The existing comment field in v12 goal plans now includes a new user interface/treatment that allows users to edit or delete their own comments.

If you have an existing goal plan and do not have comments configured to this goal plan, the new comments will not be applied to the goal plan. You will need to update all SuccessFactors Goal Management (GM) form templates before you can launch new forms.

To enable users to add comments, you need to configure this feature in the XML template and in Provisioning with these simple steps;

1. Configure the field in the XML template as follows: comments, Comments

2. In Provisioning, select Enable Goal Management V12 – requires „Version 12 UI framework (Revolution)‘.

3. Configure the newly added switch and turn it on in the goal plan template as follows:

Note: Make sure to provide the required Read/Write permissions to Employees, and also Manager (in different goal plan status)
