Copying an action plan's period (administrator)

Employees have the ability to copy an action plan's period to another period or to all other periods in the action plan. Administrators can perform this action on an employee's behalf.

Note: 

This action exists only for Draft action plans. Draft action plans get created only for goals that use goal types with the following settings for the goal year: Approve Goals By Year, Use Action Plan, Action Plan Required, and Action Plan Approval Required. In all other situations, action plans are created as Approved.

  1. Access Administrator > Goals > Resource Goals.
  2. Select the resource for whom you want to copy action plans.
  3. On the Resources panel, click Action Plans.
  4. Locate and select the Draft action plan for which you want to copy an action plan period.
  5. Click Copy Action Plan.
  6. Use the following guidelines to specify field values
