Viva Goals Product Tips!

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome back to reading! February is the bridge between winter's longing and spring's promise, where hope whispers through the frost and dreams take flight on the wings of possibility. I'm excited to share some insightful product tips with you all today. 

 

The top trends continue to remain the same - Creating/Managing OKRs, Purchasing Viva Goals licenses, Integrations and Enabling users. Let's dive into some tips to enhance your product experience.

1. Integration sync errors - Have you stumbled upon errors while syncing your data from other applications to Viva Goals? There could also be cases where the updated values do not reflect in Viva Goals. One common reason to this is the expiry of the tokens or credentials used to setup the connection. You could try to reauthenticate your connection from Account Settings > Preferences > My Integrations > click on Manage next to the desired application > Reauthenticate.

 

 

  

 

2. Export API - Have you been manually exporting the OKRs from the Viva Goals Explorer? We heard you! You will now be able to programmatically export Viva Goals data in an Explorer View via Microsoft Graph APIs. All you have to do is create an export job and fetch the content once it's successful. You can read more about it https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/goals-post-exportjobs?view=graph-rest-beta&tabs=http.

 

3. Users Deleted in Entra - Did you know? When users are deleted from Microsoft Entra ID, they're not deleted/deactivated in Viva Goals immediately. In Entra, when a user is deleted, it is in a soft-deleted phase for a 30-day period. During this period, the admin has the possibility to retrieve the account. If the account isn't retrieved for 30 days, it's then permanently deleted from Entra, and we get an update to delete/deactivate the same in Viva Goals.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this post. I'll come back with new tips next month.
