[All Workday-Pro-Talent-and-Performance Questions]

You want to create an organization goal for the workers in a supervisory organization.

When creating the organization goal, what most recent period defaults into the Goal Period field?

AThe goal period assigned to its immediate superior supervisory organization.

BThe first goal period created in the tenant.

CThe goal period on any worker record in the supervisory organization.

DThe most recent goal period assigned to a goal in the specific supervisory organization.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Comprehensive Detailed Explanation

When creating an organization goal, Workday defaults the Goal Period field to the most recent goal period used in the specific supervisory organization.

It does not inherit from superior organizations, worker records, or the first goal period created in the tenant.

This ensures consistency within the supervisory organization's existing goal cycles.

I thought the goal period was usually tied to the worker record, so C could be a possibility, but I lean towards D based on what we practiced.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between B and D. I feel like both could be relevant, but I can't recall which one is the default.

I remember a similar question about goal periods, and I think it was about the immediate superior. So maybe A is the right choice?

D is the correct answer. The system will naturally default to the most recent goal period for that supervisory org.

Alright, I've got a strategy. I'll eliminate the options that don't seem to fit the "most recent period" criteria, and then choose the one that makes the most sense.
