Difference between 'Link Goal' and 'Cascade Goal'

Hi all,

I gave permissions for linking goals as per the latest release article.

But I do not understand the difference between cascading and linking goals. Both of them shows on goal alignment chart, which can further confuse the users. There is no option to differentiate between the two. Also, after all the configurations as mentioned in the article, we are not able to 'unalign' the goal.

I want to understand the difference between the 'align'/'link' and cascading of goals.

Let me know in the comments section.

Regards,

Arunima

Hi all,

I understood the major difference between 'Link goals' and 'cascade goals'.

If a manager or someone cascade a goal to an employee, the required goal gets copied on the goal plan of that employee and vice-versa for 'Cascade to me'. The exact copied goal appears on the goal plan.

In the 'Link goal', the goal does not appear on the goal plan. When you link goal 'A' from employee A with employee B's goal B, then when you open the goal B, you can find the goal A. It does not appear explicitly on the goal plan of employee B.
