Running Goals

A running goal is a goal in process, in which no owner has yet been assigned to the goal resource. Any number of running goals may be displayed at any given time.

Administrators can manage goals more efficiently by viewing the status of the goals before executing them.

To view goal status details, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Goals > Running Goals.

  2. The Running Goals screen displays.

    Important general notifications will display immediately under the Running Goals title. Examples of notifications include any goals that have been deleted or have been reinitialized and are ready to start.

    All goals display:

    • Goal Type
    • Application
    • Start Date

    If a goal is being created, the message “Goal creation in progress…” displays in blue at the bottom left of the goal display.

  3. Select Refresh in any goal being created to refresh the goal creation progress status.

    If a goal has been created and is ready to start, the message “Ready to start…” displays in green at the bottom left of the goal display.

  4. Select Execute Now to start the goal.

    Execution of the goal begins.

  5. Select Show Status to view the goal status.

    If a goal has already been started, the percentage of the goal achieved displays.

  6. Select Show Status to view the goal status.

Note

Whether you select Goal Status in a goal that is ready to start or in a goal that has already started, the status of the running goals will display, based on one of the following filtered statuses (the default being All):

  • All: Displays all the resources in this goal.
  • Election: Displays resources in the Election state (pending completion of voting).
  • Appointment: Displays resources in the Appointment state (pending review).
  • Finished: Displays all the resources for which the Election and Appointment processes have been completed.

If no candidates were selected as data owners for a given resource, the message “There were no eligible candidates for the selected resource” displays to the right of the list of resource statuses.
