Align a goal to more than one parent
Let one goal support several parent goals, so its progress rolls into each of them.
A goal can support more than one parent. It shows under each, and its progress rolls into each.
Before you start: an admin turns on Multiple Alignment in Settings → Goals → Advanced features. Roles that can manage product settings (Owners and Admins by default) see that page. See Advanced features.
Who can do this: anyone who can edit the goal. By default that is its owners, and Org Admins and Owners. Team Admins can too when their team, or a subteam, owns the goal or has one of its owners. See Roles and permissions.
Add a second parent #
- Open the goal's ⋯ menu and choose More fields, then Alignment.
- Tick each parent you want. Untick one to remove it. The edit dialog's Parent pill takes several parents the same way. In a view, Option-drag (Alt-drag) a goal onto another to add a parent.
Deleting one parent keeps the goal under the others. See Delete a goal.
