# Configure a table for an assigned entity

Configure a table for an assigned entity type, so that the goal user can associate goals with the required assigned entity.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_gf.goal\_admin

## About this task

-   By default, with the installation of Strategic Planning, the assigned entities, Business Unit \[business\_unit\], Department \[cmn\_department\], and Company \[core\_company\], Product Model \[cmdb\_model\], Value Stream \[cmn\_value\_stream\], Intiative \[sn\_align\_core\_initiative\], and Strategic Program \[sn\_align\_core\_program\] are installed.
-   With the activation of PPM Standard \(Project Portfolio Management\), the Portfolio \[pm\_portfolio\] assigned entity is installed.

## About this task
