Goals

Last Updated:

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.

Note: Pendo Goals will only be visible in pages or features details page to the Goal creator.

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.

Note: By default, Pendo sets a baseline for the following: daily (30 days), weekly (90 days), & monthly (year of data) 
  • 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.
