Creating Objective KPIs

You can create an objective KPI and associate it with:

  • A new standalone objective. You can do this when creating a new objective from either the Actions panel or Success Tracker.
  • A new objective associated with a success plan created from a template. You can do this when creating a new success plan from a template from either the Actions panel or Success Tracker.

  • An existing objective. You can do this from:

    • The objective's record page
    • The Objective KPIs tab
    • Success Tracker

An objective KPI can only have one objective associated with it. However, an objective can have multiple objective KPIs.

Creating Objective KPIs when Creating an Objective

You can create objective KPIs and automatically associate them with either:

  • Blank objectives
  • Objectives created from templates

To do this, create an objective from either the Actions panel or Success Tracker. For more information, see Creating Objectives.

Creating Objective KPIs when Creating a Success Plan from a Template

You can create objective KPIs when creating a success plan from a template that has one or more objectives. This is useful if you want to customize objective KPIs already included in the template before creating the new success plan. To do this, you must create a success plan from either the Actions panel or Success Tracker. For more information, see Creating Success Plans.

Creating Objective KPIs for an Existing Objective

You can create an objective KPI for an existing objective as follows:

  • On an objective's record page.

  • In Success Tracker:

    • In the Success Tracker tab of the related success plan's record page, if the objective KPI belongs to an objective that is associated with a success plan.
    • In the Success Plans tab of the related account's record page if the objective KPI belongs to an objective that is associated with an account. If you cannot view this tab, contact your administrator.
    • In the Record Details panel of Success Tracker, if the related objective is associated with a success plan.

If an objective is not associated with either a success plan or an account, you must create it from either the Objectives tab or the related objective's record page.
