What is this feature?

Option to enable automatic closing of timeframes for goals. With this  feature,

global admins can enable the automatic closing of timeframes, which will automatically close timeframes when the end date has passed.

Why is it needed?

Previously, users had to manually close each timeframe even after the end date passed. This could lead to users forgetting to close them, allowing employees to update their goal progress even after the time frame has ended.

How does it work?

Let's understand how you can enable or disable this option.

1. Navigate to Performance > Goals > Settings > Time Frames and click on Edit Settings.
   
2. To enable to disable automatic closing of Time frame, click on toggle switch button on and off to enable or disable Automatic closing of timeframe.
   
   
3. Click on Save button to save the selected timeframe setting.
   

Important notes:

• By default this setting will be disabled. Global admin will have an option to enable or disable this setting.
• Once this setting is enabled, any timeframe created with a specific end date will be automatically closed by the system when the end date has passed.
• When the time frame is closed then no changes can be made to the goals.
• If a timeframe has previously been closed automatically and is manually reopened, it will not be automatically closed again. In such cases, the user must manually close the timeframe.
