Cascading objectives allow a supervisor to distribute some of the objective/general performance targets that are assigned to the supervisor, to his/her respective subordinates. This functionality facilitates the organizational objectives to flow from the top all the way to the last node of the hierarchy. A supervisor can select an objective that is assigned for him/her and choose to cascade it to any employee the supervisor has access to.
The Activity Revise and Manage Cascading Objectives
Employee Wise is performed to make changes to individual employees while
cascading an objective.
Example: - The performance objective that is assigned to the supervisor may have a target or description “50% growth in annual sales revenue” however, when the supervisor is cascading it to the subordinates, he/she may want to distribute this target among the subordinates, assume the 50% Growth means a sales revenue of 60 Million, the supervisor can assign a 20 million target to employee A and a 15 Million target to employee B and remainder to other subordinates.
Following fields can be changed employee wise before
the supervisor performs the cascade

Objective for Performance Period and General Performance for Performance Period Sections
These two sections provide an overview on the existing
objectives and general performance. When supervisor selects an employee from
the manage cascaded list, these sections will list any objectives or general
performances the selected employee has for the respective performance
period.
Using these sections the supervisor can make changes to the
weightage assignments (if the respective performance period is a weightage
based period) and continue the cascade.
