Corporate and team objectives

Every objective card carries a small network icon. Grey means unlinked; orange means a link already exists. Clicking the icon selects that objective and highlights its links — select a Team objective and you see every Corporate objective it's tied to; select a Corporate objective and you see every Team objective tied to it. Click the icon again to deselect before picking a different one. A Corporate objective can link to many Team objectives, but a Team objective can link to at most two Corporate objectives.

The link is deliberately not mathematical — a Team objective sitting at 100% does not push its linked Corporate objective's own percentage in any direct way; a Corporate objective's progress still comes only from its own Key Results. The link exists to make the relationship between levels visible, not to roll figures upward automatically. That's what turns a department's goals into a visible contribution to the company's, rather than a parallel list nobody outside the team reads.

Not every department heading on OKR Overview is as flat as it looks. Some carry a small arrow next to the name, and clicking it drops down a level to sub-teams sitting underneath — Marketing splitting into its own smaller groups, for instance, rather than one undifferentiated department. That structure isn't set here: it's configured via Organizational Structure in Settings (13.4). A department with no arrow doesn't necessarily mean no sub-teams exist for it — they may exist but simply not be marked to show up in OKR, which is its own separate setting (13.4). No arrow just means none are currently included here, not that none were ever defined.

At the end of a quarter, an entire department's objectives, key results and milestones can be rolled forward in one action — reached from the department's own OKR view (open it from the OKR Overview by clicking the department name heading, not an individual objective card) via the Copy button next to Add new objective. That opens a single Copy Department OKRs dialog with both choices in it, not two separate flows: a Department dropdown (pre-filled with the current one, changeable), a Due Date quarter selector (◄ ► arrows or click the label), three checkboxes — Include Key Results, Include Milestones, Reset Progress, all on by default — and three buttons: Cancel, Move, Copy.

Copy duplicates everything into the target quarter; the originals stay exactly where they are, untouched. Move transfers everything into the target quarter and removes it from the current one — there's nothing left behind to compare against once it's done. Reset Progress, checked by default, zeroes every value in the destination quarter so the new cycle starts clean; uncheck it to carry the existing numbers forward instead. Only the department selected in the dialog is affected — rolling forward the whole company means repeating this once per department.
