Goal weights let you assign different levels of importance to each goal. Instead of treating all goals equally, you can prioritize the ones that matter most. This ensures a more accurate evaluation of progress during performance reviews and helps identify areas that need improvement.
To use this feature, you need to activate it from the Teamflect Admin Center. Once it is enabled, you can edit the weight of goals under the "My Goals" tab. If you want to re-determine the goal weights for another user, you can search for them in the user search section and make the arrangements in the section where the goals are on the user page.
