Post-installation Configuration
A typical setup would have a globally configured goal management tool (global="true") added to the 'My Workspace' site of an account created for a program coordinator. Additional goal management tools are added to course worksites configured with global="false". Users with the 'maintain' role would be able to 'create', 'edit', 'delete', 'publish', 'suggest global' and 'associate', while users with 'access' can simply 'view visible'. Worksites should also have the "goal aware" assignments tool. This is accomplished by adding the sakai.assignment.grades tool and configuring it with goalAware="true". This includes permission management for goal management separate from assignment permissions. A user with the 'maintain' role with the assignments tool should be able to 'associate' and 'rate', while users with the 'access' role should only be able to 'view visible'.
Testing
The document prepared for the QA test can be helpful to become more acquainted with the tools and to test their functionality.
