• In the page you'll be brought to fill-up the fields accordingly. Below are descriptions of each field. 
  • Objective name - Enter a clear and concise sentence that describes the objective. E.g. Increase customer engagement through targeted campaigns.
  • Description - This is optional, but highly encouraged. You can provide a detailed and clear elaboration of the objective.
  • Objective owner - Can be yourself or your direct report.
