# Set a target minimum

A target minimum sets a floor under a target — a minimum value that every node in that target must receive. If a node's target falls below the floor, Fullcast flags it inline so the gap doesn't slip through to a published plan. Use this when there's meaningful compensation risk if a target comes in too low, such as when a rep is hired in the second half of the fiscal year and would otherwise carry an unusually small target.

## Before you begin

- [Create a target](/plan-and-pay/docs/create-a-top-down-target).

## Enable target minimums

Target minimums are off by default and must be turned on individually for each target.

1. Go to the appropriate module (**Territories** | **Teams** | **Product**) > **Manage Targets**.
2. Find the target you want to set a minimum on.
3. Click the menu (⋮) > **Target Settings**.
4. Toggle on **Enable Target Minimums**.
5. Click **Update**.

## Set the minimum value

1. Once enabled, a minimum formula field appears on the target's edit screen.
2. Select the nodes that the minimum will apply to.
3. Enter a flat dollar amount (for example, $50,000), or build a formula.

4. Click **Save**.

The value you set applies uniformly to every leaf node (individual territory or rep) in that target.

## How flags work

Once a minimum is set, any node whose target falls below it is flagged inline in real time — no separate step is required to trigger the check.
