of steps that are presented on separate pages in the vRealize Automation console.
The goal navigator can answer the following questions:
n
Where do I start?
n
What are all the steps I need to complete to achieve a goal?
n
What are the prerequisites for completing a particular task?
n
Why do I need to do this step and how does this step help me achieve my goal?
The goal navigator is hidden by default. You can expand the goal navigator by clicking the icon on the left
side of the screen.
