What are orphaned Group goals?


Orphaned group goals occur when:

  • A group assigned to certain goals is deleted without first reassigning those goals.

  • A collaboration linked to group goals is removed without reassigning them.

When this happens, you'll see a Deactivated group label in the Goals screen.

Where to find orphaned Group goals:

  • In the Goals report: Unknown Group will show up under Group Name.

  • In the Goals list view: Deactivated group will show under the Goal name.

Steps to reassign orphaned goals:

Go to edit mode for the orphaned goal.

Click on the Group drop-down menu.

Choose an appropriate group from the list.

Click Save to confirm the new group assignment.
