Customize the prefixes of goal and target numbers. ### What's new {#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-new} [Maintain-type targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-types-gf&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-it-business-management&ft:locale=en-US){#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-new-feature-1} : Track targets that must hold a value for the whole period instead of growing or shrinking toward it. The Type field on a target has three new options: Maintain above, Maintain below, and Maintain constant. For these types, target progress is the percentage of breakdown periods with actuals where the target was met. For example, if a Maintain above target is met in three of four quarters, its progress is 75%. Maintain types are available only with quantitative units of measure. The Target value distribution field isn't shown for them. [Tolerance for Maintain constant targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=configure-maintain-constant-tolerance&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-it-business-management&ft:locale=en-US){#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-new-feature-2} : Set how far a Maintain constant target's actual value can move from the final target and still count as met. By default, an actual value within 5% of the final target, above or below, counts as met. Administrators can change the tolerance with the sn_gf.maintain_constant_tolerance_percent system property. [Unique numbers and prefixes for goals and targets](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=change-number-prefix-goals-targets&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-it-business-management&ft:locale=en-US){#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-new-feature-3} : Match goal and target numbers to your organization's terminology, for example, OBJ and KR if you use objectives and key results. After an administrator changes the prefix in the number configuration, run the GF - Override Goal and Target Number fields with customized prefixes scheduled job to update existing records. The job keeps the numeric part of each number, so GOAL0004512 becomes OBJ0004512. It also skips records that already have the new prefix. {#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-new-list} ### What's changed {#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-changed} [Target type editable when actuals exist](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=change-target-type-gf&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-it-business-management&ft:locale=en-US){#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-changed-feature-1} : You can change a target's Type after actual values have been recorded. Previously, the Type field became read-only once a target had progress. A confirmation message appears before the change is applied, and if you cancel, the Type goes back to its original value. Changing the Type clears the target's actual value and percent complete. The exceptions are changes between two Maintain types and changes to or from Milestone. [Type and unit of measure stay in sync](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=target-types-gf&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-it-business-management&ft:locale=en-US){#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-changed-feature-2} : Choosing a target Type sets a matching unit of measure: * Milestone: Sets the unit of measure to Yes/No, or keeps a custom qualitative unit if one is already selected. * Maximize, Minimize, or a Maintain type: Restores the last quantitative unit you used, or sets Count (#) if there isn't one. {#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-changed-feature-2-list} The Type list always shows all six types. The same pairing also applies to targets created or updated through imports or APIs. {#goal-framework-rn-2026-10__goal-framework-rn-2026-10-changed-list}
