General Settings
Business Cycles
In General Settings Admins can set the Business Year Start and Business Cycle Length. Business Year Start is the beginning of your first quarter, whether that be the calendar year or your fiscal year - whatever your business runs on. Business Cycle length is the length of your business cycles, which are typically quarters (3 months long). These settings will be reflected in the default length of Objectives that are set for the period of time.
Feature Visibility: Choose which features you want everyone to see.
Additionally, Admins can hide or unhide features from the left navigation by unselecting or selecting the checkboxes for Objectives, Feedback, and 1-on-1s. Doing this will hide the feature(s) on the left-hand navigation for the network.
Admins can determine which updates a user sees by select the appropriate check box:

Changes to the Objective Format will be reflected in the entire network.
For Talent Development and Talent Development Pro, Admins can configure who can create department objectives, default privacy, and currency, along with setting up check-in templates and closing templates.
For Talent Development Pro with OKRs, Admins can configure default child objective progress:
Lastly, for Objective configuration, Admins can configure draft mode and labels:

Reviews
Reviews Settings provides Admins the opportunity to hide the Reviews feature from the left hand navigation while still configuring the Reviews features by clicking on Set up reviews.

To enable any of the integrations, click on Configure and follow the prompts:
