How to distribute targets across the whole hierarchy

There are three distribution options:

  • No Inheritance: Targets are not passed down from parents to children.

  • Equal Distribution: Each child receives the same target value.

Information:

This method does not consider the overall total.

  • Ratio-Based Distribution: Targets are allocated based on a specific metric or field.

Example: Expense targets can be distributed based on the percentage of revenue each child contributes.

  1. Access your Fullcast instance and switch plans if applicable.

  6. Click the “Apply changes effective from” box to enable it and select the appropriate start date.
