Rename goals to OKRs, objectives or rocks
Use Terminology to call goals, metrics and projects by your own names, such as Objectives and Key Results, across the whole workspace.
Last updated Nov 10, 2026
admin only
Terminology relabels goal types everywhere in Brev for everyone, including what Operator says.
Who can do this: roles with Manage product settings, Owners and Admins by default. See Roles & permissions.
Rename goal types #
- Open Settings. Under Goals, click Terminology.
- Turn on Custom Terminology.
- In Framework, type the singular name for all of them, such as OKR. It warns past 12 characters, since longer names get cut off in the sidebar.
- Type new names in Goal, Metric and Project, such as Objective, Key Result and Initiative.
- Click away from each field to save it.
Success check
After a reload, the sidebar reads OKRs and My OKRs, and goal-type labels use your names.- Links and page addresses don't change.
- Everyone's labels change at once, so tell your team first.
