## Australia

The ServiceNow® Goal Framework for SPM application enables you to automate the actual value of your targets for the goals that are defined using the ServiceNow® Goal Framework application. Goal Framework for SPM was enhanced and updated in the Australia release.

### What's new

-   **[Define targets at multiple organizational levels](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/it-business-management/goal-framework.md)**

    Define targets across multiple organizational levels with the **Assigned entity type** and **Assigned entity** fields in the target form. This enables targets created at higher levels \(for example, Company\) to be directly assigned to lower levels \(for example, Business Unit, Department\), eliminating redundant subgoal creation, and streamlining overall goal management.


### What's changed

-   **[Changes to Target form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/it-business-management/target-form.md)**

    The **Assigned entity type** and **Assigned entity** fields have been added to the Target form to support defining targets at multiple organizational levels.
