Reporting - The Global objectives report

*** Please note, this article refers to Reporting and Analytics with Power BI. View the FAQ for more details. ***

In this article we'll explain the main uses of the Perform Global Objectives Report.

In Perform, administrators can create global objectives, while users and managers can create individual objectives and connect them to a relevant global objective. These global objectives are designed to ensure that individual efforts are aligned with the organisation's overarching goals.

To help you understand how individual objectives align with your overall goals, we've created the Perform Global Objectives Report:

The emphasis is upon summary-level data in this report, including:

• Number of active global objectives and how many are connected to individual objectives
• Number of active individual objectives and how many are connected to a global objective
• Number of people with or without individual objectives connected to a global objective
• Summary chart of the status of all connected and active individual objectives

Other things to note

The report has been designed to look at only active global objectives and active individual objectives.  If you want to look at historical (archived) global objectives and individual objectives, opt for a user-created report and use the ‘Objectives’ dataset. Additionally:

• Effective filtering will be crucial to getting the most from this report
• To contain meaningful data, you must be using global objectives in Perform

How often does the reports database refresh?

• The report database refresh twice a day
• A time stamp showing the most recent database refresh is shown in every fixed report
• The 'database refresh' time stamp can also be added to a user-created report
• Each Dataset is refreshed individually, so the time stamp may differ between reports using different Datasets
• Where a fixed report and a user-created report are built using the same dataset, the time stamp will be the same
