Create SMART targets for goals to track and measure the progress of your goals.

## Antes de Iniciar

Role required: sn_apw_advanced.spw_goal_user

## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

If you're using Now Assist for SPM, you can use the Target generation skill to generate targets for a goal. The skill uses the goal's details and provided context to create a precise target for the goal. The more specific the
input, the stronger the recommendations. For details, see [Generate targets for a goal in Strategic Planning Workspace using Now Assist for SPM](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/scPlmwneH1mUPkr0fTGfng "Generate measurable targets for your goals in Strategic Planning Workspace using Now Assist for SPM.").

Configuring a target source for your target updates the Actuals to date field on the Target form automatically. For more information on target automation, see [Target actuals automation in Strategic Planning](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/kAdqj5eqmQ3gXgn1z0wvDA "Automate the actual value for your targets using the target automation feature.").  
A SMART target can be defined as S = Specific, M = Measurable, A = Attainable, R = Relevant, and T = Time-bound.  
Nota:  
* Only the owner or contributors of the goal can create targets for the goal.
* You can also restrict the access for a target record to the specific users by enabling the Confidential field on the Target form if the ServiceNow® Operational Sustainability Management application is installed.

## Resultado

The target progress records are automatically created when you save the target post populating the Actuals to date field. The target progress records specify the progress of each target for the goal.  
Nota:  
When you delete a goal, its associated targets (if any) and their progress records are also deleted even though the Allow the deletion of targets property is set to No.

[Update the progress of the target](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/iKXHW1~bMavcEiqXQoMPDg "Update the progress of a target when its status is changed.") manually if the target isn't enabled for target automation.
