> 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.
The All Objectives page is the central hub for viewing, managing, and reporting on objectives across your organization. It shows every objective your role can access, displays parent-child relationships between objectives, and provides filters and views for locating and analyzing objectives at any scale.
Feature Structure
The All Objectives page is organized into four functional areas:
- Filter bar — Narrows the objective list by owner, type, status, alignment, date range, state, and tag.
- View selector — Switches between Nested, Flat, and Chart views using icons in the top-right corner.
- Search and sort bar — Locates objectives by keyword or reorders the list by due date, progress, or creation date.
- Three-dot menu (Admins only) — Provides bulk actions: close or archive past-due objectives, copy a shareable link to the current view, or export the current view as CSV or XLSX.
View Options
Nested View
Displays objectives in a parent-to-child hierarchy. Sub-objectives appear indented under their parent. Closed or past-due child objectives appear if their parent objective is still active.
Flat View
Lists all objectives alphabetically in a single list. Only objectives matching your selected time filter appear.
Chart View
Displays objectives as cards in a visual alignment chart. Zoom and card size controls appear in the lower-right corner of the chart.
Available Filters
| Filter | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Objective owners | Your objectives, your direct reports, or other groups |
| Objective type | Company, department, individual, self-development, or custom group |
| Status | On track, at risk, behind, or no status |
| Alignment | Aligned or unaligned objectives |
| Start and end dates | Objectives within a date range |
| Objective state | Past, present, future, closed, archived, or past due |
| Tag | Admin-created tags |
| Include key results on others' objectives | Shows key results owned by others that belong to filtered objectives |
Key Rules
- The All Objectives page is accessed from Objectives in the left navigation.
- Bulk actions (close, archive, export, copy link) are available only to Admins via the three-dot menu next to Create a new objective.
- Nested View shows closed or past-due child objectives if their parent objective is still active.
