Administering Targets (Key Performance Indicators)

The Administer Targets screen allows an administrator to create a list of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that can then be used on target goal types.

The Administer Targets screen has two tabs:

• KPIs:  Use this tab to enter the names of the Key Performance Indicators that may be measured within your organization.
• KPI Types:  Use this tab to enter the type of measurement that will be used for the KPIs.  For example, if the KPI is “revenue”, the associated KPI type could be “dollars”.

Creating the Key Performance Indicators

On the System Admin Console, click Talent > Administer Targets.

When initially setting up targets for your system, start with the KPI types.  To create a new KPI type, toggle to the KPI Types tab and then click on the Add button.

Enter a title.  This is what users and administrators will see in the KPI Type drop-down list that is displayed on Target Goal Types.

Enter a description, if desired.

The Active check box will be checked by default.

Click the Audience tab to map the KPI type to a specific group of employees, if desired. If you choose not to do this, the KPI type will be available to all users.

Click on the Save button.
