Overview
You can use goals to set and measure targets over a period of time for various segments of users across selected pages or features. For example, Pendo Goals can help you track towards a 10% increase in new feature usage or 20% decrease in traffic to a page that will be deprecated.
Goal Types
There are two types of Goals you can create in Pendo:
- Ongoing - These goals are tracked on a continuing basis using a baseline. Progress will be visualized in an ongoing graph including a baseline with a synopsis of progress.

- Timebound - These goals are cumulative from the start date and have a specific deadline. Progress will be visualized with an estimated percentage to goal and number of days left until the deadline.
