By default, UpRaise offers OKRs at 3 levels - Company, Team, Individual. Team OKRs can have multiple layers based on different team types. Despite this, some companies wanted more flexibility in terms of naming their own OKR levels. 

From v3.9.2, manage tab of OKR page has a section called objective levels. This section allows you to define your own objective levels. In the database, objective levels are still the default ones i.e Company, Team & Individual. However, it is possible to use a display name that is different. 

 

Along with the three main OKR levels, you can enable multiple levels based on team type. For e. g. if you have defined team types like department, sub-department, squads, etc. So if you check the above option, it will create separate objective levels for each team type.
