    About this task

    Boards can be configured in three ways:
    • Strategy-based board: Tracks strategic plans or strategic priorities to align high-level direction with team execution.
    • Goal or target-based board: Tracks goals, targets, or a combination, with filtering by entity type and entity to focus on the most relevant goals.
    • A combined strategy and goals-based board: Tracks both strategy (strategic plans and strategic priorities) and goals or targets together.
    Note:
    By default, only records with the Active field set to true are displayed.

        • Goals: Enables you to select entities to track goals for, or filter the goals and targets that you want to view and track on the board. This option enables the Goals page on the board after creation.

        Selecting both Strategy and Goals options enables both Strategy and Goals pages on the board.

        Create a board in strategy and goal for tracking both strategy and goals.
