In Oracle Cloud Goal Management, canceling a goal might be necessary when goals become irrelevant, outdated, or when priorities shift. When a goal is canceled, it is no longer tracked as part of the performance evaluation.
Steps to Cancel a Goal:
1. Log in to Oracle Cloud
- Use your employee or manager credentials to access the system.
2. Navigate to My Goals (or Employee Goals for Managers)
- If you’re an employee:
- From the Home page, go to the Navigator menu.
- Under the Me section, click on My Goals.
- If you’re a manager and need to cancel a goal for a team member:
- Go to the My Team or My Client Groups section and select Goals to view your team’s goals.
3. Locate the Goal to Cancel
- In the My Goals section, find the goal you want to cancel.
- You can search for the goal or browse through the list of active goals.
4. Open the Goal Details
- Click on the goal title to open the detailed view of the goal.
5. Cancel the Goal
- In the goal details page, look for the Cancel option.
- This might be a button labeled Cancel Goal or Mark as Canceled.
- Select this option to cancel the goal.
- You might be prompted to provide a reason for canceling the goal. Enter a brief explanation, such as “Project discontinued” or “Goal no longer relevant.”
6. Save or Confirm the Cancellation
- After selecting Cancel, confirm the action by clicking Save or Submit (depending on the system prompts).
- The goal will now be marked as Canceled, and its progress tracking will stop.
7. Review the Status
- Once the goal is canceled, its status will change to Canceled in your goals list. It may no longer be editable or trackable.
- Canceled goals will often appear in a separate section or filter for historical reference, but they will not count towards your active performance goals.
8. Notify Manager or Employee (Optional)
- If required, notify your manager or team member about the goal cancellation. Some systems will send an automatic notification when a goal is canceled.
Summary:
- Navigate to My Goals (or Employee Goals if you’re a manager) to find the goal you want to cancel.
- Open the goal details, click Cancel Goal, provide a reason if needed, and confirm the cancellation.
- Once canceled, the goal will no longer be tracked for performance evaluation.
Canceling a goal ensures that it no longer affects performance tracking, helping maintain focus on relevant and aligned objectives.
