Setting goals with targets


You’ll need to be an Admin or Owner in ChartMogul to manage targets. Read more about roles and permissions.

Targets help your team to keep track of your business’ most important monthly, quarterly or annual goals directly in ChartMogul.

Targets help you track goals such as $5 million ARR by the end of the year or $83,334, the MRR needed to be a $1 million business. To set targets in line with your industry and peers, use Benchmarks.

Creating a metric target

To create a target to track MRR, ARR, or paying subscribers:

  1. Navigate to a dashboard.
  2. Click the Settings (gear) icon.
  3. Select Add a report to this dashboard > Default Chart > Target.
  4. Choose the metric to track: MRR, ARR, or Paid Subscribers.
  5. Select the target interval: Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly.
  6. Finally, enter the total amount for your target.

Click SAVE.

Creating a won opportunities target

To create a sales target for the current quarter:

  1. Navigate to a dashboard.
  2. Click the Settings (gear) icon.
  3. Select Add a report to this dashboard > Default Chart > Won Opportunities Target.
  4. Set a target for All pipelines or choose a specific pipeline using the drop-down.
  5. Enter the value for opportunities you’d like to win.

Click SAVE.

ChartMogul adds your target and makes it visible to all users with access to the dashboard.

Targets calculation

ChartMogul calculates target progress based on the amount remaining to reach the target, not the total for the metric at the time the target is set. For example, Tetoko wants to reach $500,000 ARR by the end of the year. When they set the target, their ARR is $125,000. ChartMogul sets the target amount to $375,000 (the remaining gap). Their progress starts at 0%, not 25%, even though they’ve already achieved $125,000 ARR.

Editing, moving, or deleting targets

To manage a target, hover over the target title for the Settings (gear) icon to appear, then select an option:

  • Edit – Adjust the target’s metric, interval, or amount. ChartMogul updates your target and adjusts its progress to reflect your changes.
  • Move to – Remove the target from the current dashboard and move it to another one.
  • Duplicate to – Create a copy of the target to appear on another dashboard.
  • Remove – Delete the target from the current dashboard. This action is permanent.

There are two ways to view targets:

Targets are moved to Past Targets (located under your current targets) once the set time period is complete. This gives your team a look into historical targets, the time period they covered and whether they were attained (or exceeded).
