Status/Fix Date

No vendor resolution vendor Expected functionality - Contact Boulder HR if you have questions about this issue.

Description

 For the Planning task, once a manager clicks into the task, Cornerstone creates a “snapshot in time” of all goals. If edits are made, or goals are cancelled, the changes may not be reflected when viewing the list of goals within the task. New goals can be added. This has often been seen with employee who have changed classifications from Classified to University staff.

  • This is expected functionality from the vendor. It may cause goals to seem out of sync. However, as our CU Boulder documentation states, the options in the “Tasks (Action Required)” box are meant to serve as signature workflows, and the goals as seen through the Performance Planning tile are meant to be the “living document” of expectations that can change throughout the year.

  • We encourage supervisors or employees with this issue to complete the task and discuss expectations, emphasizing the goals that correctly fall within the 23-24 plan year. Submit a Cornerstone ticket or contact Boulder HR if you have questions or guidance.

  • This issue will be resolved for future coaching and planning tasks.
