Goal Icon Indicators

Next to each goal is an icon colored to match the status of the goal.

	A grey icon means the goal is in edit mode and has not been submitted for approval.
	A gold icon means the goal has been submitted and is waiting for appraiser approval.
	A blue icon means the goal has been approved and is on target for future completion.
	A green icon means the goal has been completed.

Click on your newly added goal to open the menu options to Edit, Delete, Copy to New Goal, or Submit for Approval.

Editing a Goal

Once a goal has been submitted for approval, it can not be edited. But you can use the Copy to New Goal button to copy the existing goal to a new goal to edit as needed and then submit for approval.
