Goals Panel (NextGen)

Overview

The Goals Panel is a dynamic, in-app panel appearing on the right hand side of a number of Modules within Betterworks, to surface goal-related insights in context, without requiring users to navigate away from their workflow. This panel displays goals, milestones, and AI-generated meeting summaries, with filtering, ownership toggles, and quick navigation to the Goals module.

Permissions & Visibility

Users are only able to see Goals & Milestones that they own, and the Goals & Milestones owned by the other user their Meeting or Conversation is with, based on the page they are currently viewing. All existing permissions and ownership rules remain in place, so no unrelated Goals will be displayed in this panel.
