An updated Goal List for Workfront Goals New in Preview!

To create a cohesive experience for you, we have introduced several updates to the Goal List in Workfront Goals. The new list looks and feels closer to the rest of the Workfront lists. Some improvements that you can see in the new Goal list include:

  • Collapsing and expanding the goals is managed from the upper-left icon in the toolbar. The “Expand goals” icon has been removed.

  • The functionality of the filters matches that in the Goal Alignment section. You can temporarily show items hidden by the filter, then reapply it to exclude them from displaying.

  • The name of some of the columns has been updated.

Share a goal in Workfront GoalsNew in Preview!

You can now share a goal you create or which was shared with you and control who has access to manage the goal.
