When updating goal progress, employees can choose to update by increment or by total.
Updating by increment adds or subtracts the amount entered from the current progress. Updating by total replaces the current progress with the amount entered.
Example
The following example walks through the options for goal progress if you decide to update incrementally OR by total.
Goal: Hire 7 people for the people team. Start: 0. Target: 7.
Month 1: Made 1 hire.
Increment: 1 hire
Total: 1 hire
New goal progress: 1.
Month 2: Made 3 hires.
Increment: 3 hires
Total: 4
New goal progress: 4
