Goals

Goals let you define what you are working toward and track progress over time. Use them to organize a chase list, measure completion of a set, or group items for any collecting objective.

Creating a goal

From the Goals tab, tap Create goal. The creation form includes:

• Goal name: a descriptive title (minimum three characters).
• Description: optional notes about the goal. Supports Markdown formatting.
• Color: pick from a palette of colors. A random color is assigned by default.
• Completion mode: toggle "Completion mode?" on or off (see below).
• Ranked: toggle "Set as ranked goal?" to include this goal in leaderboard scoring.

Tap confirm to create the goal. You can edit any of these fields later.

Flat mode vs completion mode

Goals operate in one of two modes:

Flat mode (default)

A flat-mode goal is an open-ended list. It tracks the references you add and shows how many items from your collection are associated with those references. There is no completion target. Use flat mode when the list might grow or when you are tracking items without a fixed endpoint.

What you see: reference count and associated collectible count.

Completion mode

A completion-mode goal tracks progress toward owning every item in the list. It shows a completion percentage, the number of distinct items collected versus the total, and an estimated cost to complete the remainder based on current market values.

What you see: completion percentage, collected count vs total count, estimated cost to complete, and collection value.

Completion mode is ideal for set completion projects like a Grand Master Collection or a complete series run.

Adding items to a goal

There are several ways to populate a goal:

1. From the goal detail page: open a goal and use the add controls to search for and add item references.
2. From Search with multi-select: activate multi-select on the Search tab, select the items you want, and tap Goals in the selection bar to add them to one or more goals.
3. From an item detail page: on any item's detail page, you can add it to a goal directly.
4. During goal creation: you can attach items as part of the creation flow.

References vs owned items

A goal contains references: entries representing items in the database, whether or not you own them. When you own a copy of a referenced item, you associate your collectible with that reference.

• Adding a reference says "I want this item in my goal."
• Associating a collectible says "I own this item and it counts toward this goal."
• Removing a reference removes it from the goal but does not affect your collection.
• Disassociating a collectible removes the link to the goal but keeps the item in your collection.

A single collectible can be associated with multiple goals.

Goal detail view

Open any goal to see its detail view. The details accordion shows:

• Unique references: how many target items are in the goal.
• Collectibles associated: how many items from your collection are linked.
• Distinct items collected: collected vs total (completion mode).
• Estimated value: collection value, reference value, and the cost differential to complete.
• TopVault Score: a numeric quality and rarity score for leaderboard ranking.
• Regions: geographic regions represented by items in the goal.

Below the details, the full item list is displayed with filter and sort controls.

Managing goals

• Edit: change the name, description, color, mode, or ranked status of any goal.
• Reorder: toggle reorder mode on the Goals tab to drag goals into your preferred order.
• Delete: remove a goal with a two-step confirmation. Deleting a goal does not remove items from your collection.
• Share: generate a read-only link so others can view the goal.

Ranked goals and scoring

Only one goal per collection type can be set as ranked. The ranked goal's TopVault Score appears on the Scores and Leaderboards page, where it is compared against other collectors regionally and globally.

To change which goal is ranked, edit any goal and toggle "Set as ranked goal?" on. The previously ranked goal for that collection type is automatically unranked.

Goal trends

From the Goals tab, tap Trends to see a chart of how your goals' values and scores have changed over time. You can toggle between Daily, Weekly, and Monthly intervals, and show or hide individual goals on the chart. Each goal is plotted in its assigned color.

The trends table below the chart shows each goal with a sparkline, current score, value, and item count.
