Consistent naming between goal progress and project condition

We have updated the names of the goal Progress field to match that of the Project Condition. For this, we have made the following changes:

• The current On Track goal Progress has been renamed to On Target (green indicator)
• The current Behind goal Progress has been renamed to At Risk (yellow indicator)
• The current At Risk goal Progress has been renamed to In Trouble (green indicator)

For information about how Workfront calculates goal progress, see Overview of goal progress and condition in Adobe Workfront Goals.

Consistent navigation and toolbar with new filter experience in Workfront Goals

To create a familiar experience across all Workfront products, we have redesigned the main navigation and the goal lists in Workfront Goals. This new design is consistent with the way you interact with all other areas and lists in Workfront and includes the following features:

• The left panel now matches that of all other areas that you can access from the Main Menu.
• A new toolbar has been added to lists to include options for pagination (Goal List, Pulse) and expanding and printing the goal list (Goal List).
• The tabs at the top of the Workfront Goals sections have been eliminated.
• The tabs and filters have been replaced by a new filter menu which is consistent with other filters in Workfront, like the one in the Workload Balancer. You can now apply filters to all pages of Workfront Goals except for the Check-in section. Prior to this change, the Goal Alignment chart had limited filtering options.

Improvements to updating results in the Goal Details panel

To incorporate some of the feedback we have received from you, we have made improvements to adding and editing results in the Goal Details panel. These improvements include:

• Renamed the Measured Value, Starting At, and Ending At fields to Value, Initial, and Target, respectively
• Made the Initial field editable after you save the result
• Removed the result “Type” field

• New card design which allows you to click directly to open Goal Details panel
• Easier navigation to children and parent goals from the alignment chart
• More user-friendly display for custom dates
• The name of the goal Progress and the color indicator above the goal progress bar.
