Congure Approval Rules for Development GoalTransactionsYou can congure and dene approval rules for the development goal transactions in Transaction Console.

Dene Approvals in Transaction ConsoleFrom Home go to Tools > Transaction Console>Transaction Manager> click the Approval Rules tab to manage theapproval rule set for all Development Goal transactions. Use the Approve Development Goal task to review or modifythe conguration of approval rules for development goals. The Rule Set consists of two rules.

• Automatic Approval of Development Goals DevelopmentGoalAutoApproval

• Manual Approval of Development Goals DevelopmentGoalManualApproval

By default, the primary rule, Automatic Approval of Development Goals is enabled to automatically approvedevelopment goal transactions. When the conditions in this rule are met, the application doesn't generate any approvalnotications. By default, all the conditions in this rule evaluate to the True state.

When you want to meet your specic development goal approval requirements, you need to modify the approval ruleset. The secondary rule Manual Approval of Development Goals rule captures the requirements for triggering manualapprovals using approval notications. This rule triggers the approval notication ow. By default, all the conditions inthis rule evaluate to the False state.

For each condition that you want to trigger approvals, you need to modify both the manual and automatic approvalrules so that only one rule meets the conditions at any given time for a goal transaction. This table lists the basicDevelopment Goals approval conditions and indicates the value that needs to be assigned for the condition aribute toenable the manual approval of development goal transactions.

Approval Condition Condition Aribute Aribute Value to Enable ManualApproval

You can congure these conditions to evaluate to the false state by adding the prex NOT_ to the aribute value inthe expression. To ensure that the conditions evaluate to the true state, you need to remove the prex NOT_ fromtheir expressions. For example, to trigger approvals when new goals are created, in the manual approval rule, specifythe condition Development Goal.Goal Added Flag to True. You need to set the value as Y instead of NOT_Y. And in theautomatic approval rule, you need to add a new condition DevelopmentGoal.Goal Added Flag!="Y".

Modify Approval Rule SetYou can modify the rule set of development goals to meet your specic approval requirements. Remember that there isonly one manual approval rule along with its corresponding mutually exclusive automatic approval rule.

Note: Ensure that the automatic and manual approval rules don't logically conict or overlap. Errors maysurface and development plans may get locked. Your administrator needs to use Transaction Console toeither terminate the transactions or forcefully approve the transactions.

Add a New Development Goal Condition in the Rule SetApart from the basic conditions in the Manual Approval of Development Goals rule, you can add more conditions. Buildexpressions by using the development goal payload aributes. You need to add the condition to both the manual andautomatic approval rules and ensure that the rules complement each other. Remember that the condition added in theautomatic approval rule needs to be the inverse of the condition added to the manual approval rule.

Note: When conguring multiple manual rules, the person who approves may receive multiple or evenduplicate notications.

How Career Development Works with ProlesThe Career Development work area uses predened content types Licenses and Certications, Competencies, andLanguages as target outcomes. Target outcomes are content types that contain content items and maintained in theProles work area. Target outcomes help workers add or improve requisite skills, competencies, certications, or otherqualications. Depending on content section access seings for your role, you can add target outcomes to performanceand development goals. You add target outcomes to increase a worker's performance on the current job. You addtarget outcomes to development goals to develop the current role, or prepare for a future role. You can also add a goalto a competency. This competency is saved as the target outcome for the goal.

To use various competencies such as Licenses and Certications, Competencies, or Languages content type as a targetoutcome in the Career Development work area:

• Use the relevant subscriber code to access the Proles functional area from the Career Development work area.

• Enable the use of target outcomes for career development by selecting the feature choice option on theCongure Oerings page in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

• Your role needs to have the access to the content type. Dene the content section access seings for a job orabstract role by using the Prole Content Section Access task in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

• Ensure that the Goals content type must have a relationship with the content type. You add a relationshipbetween the Goals content type and the corresponding content type in the Proles work area.

After a worker completes a development goal, the worker's person prole is updated to include the content item that thetarget outcome addresses. If the content type exists in the worker's person prole, the prole is updated to include newor changed information.



16

The gure shows how the application adds the Customer Focus competency from the content library to a developmentgoal as a target outcome, and then to the worker prole when the goal completes.

Content Library

Competencies

Degrees

Communication Customer Focus Leadership

Goal

Target Outcomes

Customer Focus

Worker Profile

Competencies

Languages

Customer Focus

Build Relationships

Adding Target Outcomes to Development GoalsYou can add target outcomes to goals when adding or editing the development goals for workers. You can selecttarget outcomes from the available list of content types competencies, languages, and licenses and certications. Theavailability of content types depend on the content section access seings for your role.

When exploring roles, the application tracks and displays the current prociency and required prociency ratings for arole (job or position prole). Use the competency gap to determine whether you're already qualied for the selected jobrole, or if areas exist where you need further development.



17

If you identify gaps, you can add a goal for the competency for which you have lesser ratings. For example, if yourrating for the Leadership competency is 3 and the targeted rating for that competency in the Product Manager job is 4,you can add a goal to the Leadership competency to help you improve your leadership capabilities. The competency forwhich you add a goal appears as a target outcome for that goal.

If Target Outcomes option in feature choice is enabled, you can add target outcomes to goals when:

• Adding development goals to the goal library

• Mass assigning development goals

• Administering development goals

Updating Worker ProlesWhen the development goal is completed, and approved if approvals are required, then the worker's person proleis updated to include the target outcomes. For content items that require a rating level, such as competencies, themanager needs to select a rating level, which is the rating level associated with the content item. If approvals aren'tenabled for completing the percentage completion of a goal, the worker can also rate the competency associated withthe goal. The evaluation type for the competency is Self when the worker rates the competency.

Note: If you delete a goal, the ratings associated with a competency aren't deleted from the worker's prole.Depending upon the evaluation type, the user who rated the worker's competency can delete or update therating on the worker's person prole even after the goal is deleted.

How You Use Development Goals in Talent PoolsAs an owner of a talent pool, you add development goals to a talent pool to enable all pool members to upgrade theirskills and achieve the goals for which the talent pool was created. You need to have the Access Talent Pool Overviewprivilege to manage development goals added to a talent pool.

Here's how you can navigate to the Talent Pools overview page:

• Use the Talent Pools Quick Action available in My Client Groups.

• On the Deep Links page, search for pools, and then select Overview.

How You Add a Development GoalYou can add development goals that are available in the goal library to a talent pool.

1. Open the talent pool.2. Expand the Development Goals section.3. From the Goal list, select the development goal that you want to add.

18

The pool members and managers can view the added goal in the Development Plan section of the member's CareerDevelopment page.

Note: When you add a member to a talent pool, the development goals associated with the pool aren'tautomatically assigned to the new member. You need to add the development goals of the talent pool to thenew members if they haven't already been assigned these goals.

What Happens When You Remove a Development GoalDid you know that even after you remove a development goal from a pool, the members of the talent pool continue tohave the goal assigned to them? To remove the goal from a member's development plan, you need to delete it from theDevelopment Plan section of the member's Career Development page.

What Happens When a Development Goal is Edited after it's Added to aTalent PoolLet's assume a development goal is edited in the goal library after it was added to a talent pool. You won't see thechanges made to the goal automatically. But if you remove the changed goal and add it back again, you can see theupdated goal in the pool.
