The Objectives tab in ProgressAlly helps you track learner progress and define milestones within your Offerings. Each Objective represents a specific action learners need to take, such as watching a video, passing a quiz, or downloading a resource.
When an Objective List is marked complete, you can trigger additional features like running Custom Operations or showing a PopupAlly Pro completion popup to guide the learner to their next step.
