Activate goals in Adobe Workfront Goals
When you create a goal, Adobe Workfront Goals saves it with a status of Draft. Drafted goals are not part of goal management.
To keep track of how close you are to achieving a goal by updating its progress, you must activate it. This changes its status to Active.
For information about creating a goal, see Create goals in Adobe Workfront Goals.
