Import objectives
It is used toadd objectives that do not exist on the platform.
Where to find it:Information > Importers > Talent > Objectives (Importer)
Overwrite objectives
This optionremoves all objectives for the selected period from the collaborators in the spreadsheetandrecreates only the objectives that are in the spreadsheet you upload.
It is mainly used when you want toremove existing objectivesfrom your collaborators andadd new objectivesto your collaborators.
Important considerations:
Only the objectives of collaborators listed in the spreadsheet are overwritten.If you do not want to modify any objective of a specific collaborator, remove all their references before uploading the spreadsheet.
When overwriting, the objective's authorship changes:if previously the objective was created by a collaborator (that is, the collaborator was the author), when uploading the new spreadsheet the authorship will pass to whoever performed the upload.
This importer does not update existing objectives; it deletes them completely (including progress and progress comments) and creates new objectives with the information from the spreadsheet.
The newly created objectives will need to be accepted again.
Where to find it:Information > Importers > Talent > Objectives (Importer). It is the same importer used to import objectives, but you must select the “Overwrite objectives” option and choose the period you want to overwritebeforedownloading the spreadsheet.
Modify objectives
It is used when you want toupdate information of existing objectives.
Important considerations:
- You can only modify existing information; you cannot create new objectives or delete existing objectives.
- You must not modify columns A (Internal identifier) and B (Document number) of the downloaded file since that is how the objective is linked to the collaborator.
Where to find it:Information > Importers > Talent > Objectives (Modifier).
