Financial Goals Entry Screen
ASSUMPTIONS:
Click on the Assumptions button and, in the resulting
screen, there is only one field. In this field, you can make notes
about why your goals have been set at these levels.
For example, if you know
that there is a large corporation moving to area and predictions
are that new home sales will increase by 15% over the next year
to accommodate relocations, that may have influenced your decision
to increase your production goals by 15%. By making notes accordingly
in this section of Goal Entry, you will be reminded of this assumption
if you wanted to remember at a later date.
Please note that this Assumptions
screen will only appear the first time you enter goals
into the Goal Entry system, save them, and submit them. We will
explain more about this later.
