Adding Activities to a Goal Template

All types of training activities can be added to a Goal Template. WBT, ILT, Certifications, and Curricula.

Depending on site configuration, buttons and links may be in other areas, but typically there will be a Manage Learning console. Located within that console will be an option to manage Goal Templates.  

The Manage Goal Templates page appears. There are groups of templates: My Templates, Shared Templates, and Templates owned by others. Use the Mapped To dropdown menus and Search field to narrow the results. Select the View button next to the goal to select it.
