Edit or unlink a Salesforce-linked key result

Once a key result is linked to a Salesforce report, you can change its metric settings or remove the Salesforce connection at any time from the objective editor.

Before You Begin

  • The key result must already be linked to a Salesforce report.
  • You must have access to create or edit objectives in 15Five.
