> Note: Your organization may have renamed this feature. If you don't see Objectives in your navigation, check with your admin for the name used in your account.
Admins can control which group types are available when users create a group objective. When complete, only enabled group types appear in the group selector during objective creation.
Before You Begin
- Objectives must be enabled for your account. See Enable or disable Objectives.
- You must be an Account Admin.
- Group types must already exist in your account. See Create group types and groups one at a time (Admin) or Create group types and groups via bulk import (Admin).
Steps
- Go to Settings > Features > Objectives.
- Click the Objective types tab.
- Scroll to the Group-based types section.
- Click the toggle to the right of a group type to enable or disable objective creation for that type.
- Click Save.
Confirmation: Your changes save when the page refreshes without error. The toggle reflects the updated state.
> Note: When a user creates an objective and selects A group, the group type dropdown shows only group types with the Objectives toggle enabled.
