From My Goals screen, you can manage your goals and targets for the selected performance period. You can add new goals by clicking the **Add Goal** button. An Employee can add goals for themselves or a Manager can add Goals for Employees.

## Self Goal You can add a new goal to your performance form. Select a goal category from the dropdown list and enter the goal description in the text box as shown in the image below:

You can make the goal measurable by switching on the toggle button and selecting the measurable value.

For ex. when you add a goal, select the Goal Category like Productivity Goals and enter description such as increasing the lead generation. If you make this goal as a measurable goal, then you can define it's target value to acheive that goal. Once done, click the **Save Goal** button to save the changes. When the Goal is added you can add results or view the added results to the Goal.
