explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Viva Goals is adding a new feature that allows admins to export goal-related data in formats like JSON or CSV. Think of this feature as a new tool in your toolbox, similar to how you might use a spreadsheet to organize and analyze data. With this update, admins can easily take the information about goals and move it to other programs or systems where it can be examined more closely. This is like being able to take notes from a meeting and then use them in a report or presentation.
This feature will be automatically available to all admins and team owners, so there's no need to do anything to turn it on. It's like getting a new app on your phone that appears automatically without needing to download it yourself. Once the feature is live, you'll find a new Export tab in the settings for both organizations and teams within Viva Goals. This is where you can choose to export the data.
The ability to export data is particularly useful for compliance and reporting. Imagine you need to prepare a detailed report for a board meeting; having the data in a format that can be easily analyzed and shared makes this task much simpler. It also allows for integration with other tools, much like how you might use a universal charger that works with multiple devices.
Before the feature rolls out, it's a good idea to inform relevant team members about this new capability and update any internal documentation to reflect this change. Additionally, if the data being exported is sensitive, reviewing your internal policies on data handling and storage would be wise, ensuring that everything remains secure and compliant with regulations. This is similar to checking your locks and security systems when you know you'll be handling valuable information.
Overall, this new data export feature in Microsoft Viva Goals aims to make data management more efficient and adaptable to your organization's needs.
