| Apr 16, 2025 10:34 AM | On the MH implementation workbook NPM 14.1 allows you to write your smart goal, the rest of the NPM's and SPM's only have dropdowns under smart goal asking you if it's not started, on hold, in progress or completed. How do you want us to complete this if it is a new goal and not a continuation of FY25 goals? | While the drop down is an error, you are able to type in your SMART goal in the goal and save without issue. |
