      • Measurement type: Measure Goals based on the percentage, quantity, and checkbox.
        • Percentage allows you to measure a goal’s progress based on the percentage (0 to 100). When a goal reaches 100 percent, it is marked as achieved.
        • Quantity allows you to select a unit type, start value, and target (end) value to hit the goal.
        • Milestone allows you to mark the goal as completed once it is achieved.

      • Contributing goals: They are the sub-goals that contribute to a Goal and also contribute to another individual Goal.
      • Aligned goals: Aligned goals enable you to align your Goals with the organization’s Goals. Aligned goals do not contribute to the parent goal unless the owner marks it as contributing.
