Statuses and automation

Money targets are converted to the currency you view the dashboard in, at that month's exchange rate. Every change is recorded in the audit log.

Settings that change this page

Your organisation's base currency sets the currency of money targets.

FAQs

Do group targets add up to the portfolio target? No. Each scope has its own targets; set the portfolio target separately.

Can I copy last year's targets? Not yet; type them in, or export the dashboard to Excel and use it as a guide.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
"The value format is invalid" Use digits with an optional decimal point, such as 12500.50. Commas between thousands are fine.
A measure is missing It comes from a module that is turned off.
