 =====
 
-The Odoo *Appraisals* application allows managers to set goals for their employees. That way,
-employees know what to work toward before their next review.
+The Odoo **Appraisals** application allows managers to set (and track) clear goals for their
+employees. Continuous progress towards goals give employees a concrete target between reviews, and
+give managers reliable insights when evaluating performance.
+
+View goals
+==========
 
 To view all goals, navigate to :menuselection:`Appraisals app --> Goals`. This presents all the
-goals for every employee, in a default Kanban view.

+To create new goals, navigate to :menuselection:`Appraisals app --> Goals`, and click
+:guilabel:`New` in the top-left corner to open a blank goal form. Add the following information on
+the form:

+  this field is populated, the employee's manager populates the :guilabel:`Manager` field.

-view, with the addition of a :guilabel:`Tags` field and a :guilabel:`Description` tab.
+.. _appraisals/add-tags:
 
-.. tip::
-   The *Appraisals* application does **not** have any pre-configured tags, so all tags need to be
-   added. To add a tag, enter the name of the tag on the line, then click :guilabel:`Create
-   "(tag)"`. Repeat this for all tags that need to be added.
+Tags
+----
 
-The current user populates the :guilabel:`Employee` field, by default, and the :guilabel:`Manager`
-field populates with the manager set on the employee profile.
+Adding tags to goals can help when viewing the goals report, to see how many goals with specific
+tags are assigned to employees.
 
-Make any necessary changes to the form, and add any notes that might be useful to clarify the goal
-in the :guilabel:`Description` tab.
+To view all the current tags, and add new ones, navigate to :menuselection:`Appraisals app -->
+Configuration --> Tags`. All tags appear in a list view. The default tags are: :guilabel:`External`,
+:guilabel:`Hard Skills`, :guilabel:`Internal`, :guilabel:`Programming`, :guilabel:`Soft Skills`, and

+Update goals
+============
 
-Completed goals
-===============
+During employee appraisals, goals are reviewed to see how much progress the employee has made. When
+an employee has achieved the next level of progress, the goal must be updated accordingly.
 
-When a goal has been met, it is important to update the record. A goal can be marked as `Done` in
-one of two ways: from the main :guilabel:`Goals` dashboard, or from the individual goal card.
+To update a goal's progress percentage, navigate to :menuselection:`Appraisals app --> Goals`.
+Expand the employee whose goals are being evaluated, and click on an individual goal to open the
+    <
8000
span class='blob-code-inner blob-code-marker ' data-code-marker="+">goal record.
 
-To mark a goal as `Done` from the main :guilabel:`Goals` dashboard, click on the
-:icon:`fa-ellipsis-v` :guilabel:`(vertical ellipsis)` icon in the top-right of a goal card.
+Click the new :guilabel:`Progress` box to set the new progress level. It is recommended to add notes
+in the :guilabel:`Description` tab, as the employee progresses with the goal. The notes should
+include dates the progress changed, and any supporting information regarding the change.
 
 .. note::
-   The :icon:`fa-ellipsis-v` :guilabel:`(vertical ellipsis)` icon **only** appears when the mouse
-   hovers over the top-right corner of a goal card.
+   Goal progress can be updated at any time by the employee's manager, not only during an appraisal.
 
-Then, click :guilabel:`Mark as Done` from the resulting drop-down menu. A green :guilabel:`Done`
-banner appears in the top-right corner of the goal card.
+Complete goals
+==============
 
-To mark a goal as `Done` from the goal card itself, click on a goal card to open that goal's form.
-Then, click the :guilabel:`Mark as Done` button in the top-left of the form. When clicked, a green
-:guilabel:`Done` banner appears in the top-right corner of the goal form.
+When a goal has been met, it is important to update the record. Navigate to
+:menuselection:`Appraisals app --> Goals`. Expand the employee whose goals are being evaluated, and
+click on an individual goal to open the goal record.
+
+Click the :guilabel:`Mark as Done` button in the upper-left corner. A green :guilabel:`Done` banner
+appears in the top-right corner of the goal card, and the :guilabel:`Progress` changes to
+:guilabel:`100%`.
+
+.. note::
+   On the :guilabel:`Goals` dashboard, completed goals are indicated with a green :guilabel:`100%`
+   in the :guilabel:`Progress` column.
