Using your Personal Goal Index Page

Within your personal goal index page, there are several tools which makes it easy to manage your goals.

Sorting with Drag and Drop

Your goals are automatically listed in the order in which they are created or adopted, with the newest on the bottom and the oldest on the top. You can, however, re-sort your goals by clicking on the dark grey vertical lines to the far left of a goals row. As you hold down your mouses button, the goal will move up or down. You can, for example, move it towards the top of the page so that it is the very first goal that is listed.

Goal Sections
Your goal index includes additional sections where you can store goals which are in different states.

Active
This is your default page, and the page where you will be able to view any goal which is active. A goal is considered to be active until it is marked complete, archived, or deleted.

Recommended
When EduGuide members find a goal that they feel will help one of their friends on the site, they can send it to them as a goal recommendation. Recommended goals will appear under this tab. If you like the goal, you can click adopt to begin the adoption process. Once youve adopted the recommended goal, it will display under your active goal tab.

Completed Goals
Goals are stored inside your Completed Goals list after all of the steps are marked complete, or the goal itself is marked complete. You can always refer back to goals which were marked as complete and restart or delete them.

Archived

View as: Webpage | Doc | Activity Feed | Goals which are archived are stored under this tab. You might want to archive a goal if you are going to be away from your computer for a while and need to put the goal in pause. You can always change the goal so that it is active again.

Goal Stats
There are numbers along the top of your goal index page which will give you an at-a-glance idea of where you stand with your goals.

Completed
This tells you how many goals have been marked as complete. These goals will be stored under your complete tab.

Need Action
This number reflects the number of goals which have steps that have fallen behind their due dates.

On Track
This stat shows the number of goals which are on schedule for completion by their due dates.
