How to Add Labels to Goals

Learn how to add and use labels to categorize goals in Teamflect for better tracking.

Written by Myka

Goal labels in Teamflect help you categorize and organize goals, making it easier to identify priorities, group related objectives, and track progress at a glance. Whether you're an administrator, manager, or employee, labels provide a simple way to keep goals organized and improve visibility across your organization.

While Teamflect administrators manage the available labels, users can assign these existing labels to their goals to better organize and filter their work without modifying the overall system configuration.

How to Add Labels to Goals

  1. Open a Goal

    • In the Teamflect application, click on the goal you want to categorize.

  2. Locate the Labels Section

    • On the right-hand side of the goal detail view, find the Labels section.

  3. Add a Label

    • Click Add.

    • Select the desired label and click Done.

    • Repeat the process if you’d like to assign multiple labels.

You can now filter through goal labels as follows:

📌 Note: Labels can only be created or customized by administrators in the Admin Center. End-users can only assign from the existing set. Please see the following for more information: Creating Goal Labels

HR-Focused Use Cases

1. Goal Prioritization

HR and managers can use labels such as “High Priority” or “Urgent” to help employees focus on the most impactful objectives, especially during performance cycles or critical business initiatives.

2. Departmental Organization

By applying labels like “Sales,” “Marketing,” or “HR,” organizations can quickly segment goals across departments. This helps HR track alignment at both departmental and company-wide levels without needing complex reports.

3. Progress Monitoring and Intervention

Labels such as “On Track,” “Delayed,” or “Completed” give HR and managers instant visibility into goal progress. This makes it easier to identify potential roadblocks early and provide timely coaching or support.

Best Practice

Use this feature when:

  • You need a quick visual way to categorize and prioritize goals.

  • HR or managers want to track departmental or organizational alignment.

  • Monitoring progress or performance at a glance is helpful.

Avoid using this feature when:

  • The goal does not need categorization.

  • Custom labels would create confusion or inconsistency (let admins manage label creation).
