The following types of goals can be entered in Analytics:

Sales, Tech Center, and Inventory Goals: These goals are entered via the Admin tab.

Financial Goals: These goals are entered by creating a financial budget. The following goal information is included in a budget: Sales, Wages, Marketing, and Expenses.
