Define skill levels (for example, beginner, intermediate,
advanced) for different skill level types (for example, a language or an IT
certification) so you can associate skill levels to users and define skill levels and
types required for tasks.
Before you begin
Role required: skill_admin or admin
Procedure
-
Identify skill level types.
You can group skills that belong to the same category into a skill level
type. For example, you could use language as the skill level type if
Japanese and French are defined as skills. Take an inventory of every type
of skill your organization needs.
-
Add skill level types, define skill levels, and associate them with a skill
level type.
After you add a skill level type, you can define different levels for that
type of skill. For example, if you add language as a type of skill, you can
associate familiar, proficient, and expert as skill levels. When you select
French, for example, as a skill for a user, you will be able to define the
user's skill level for French as either familiar, proficient, or expert.

Navigate to .
-
Click New.
-
Enter a name and description for the skill level type, and then
right-click the form and click Save.
-
Associate skill levels with this skill type.
By default, skill level types are associated with the
Default skill level and have a value of 1.
You can change the name and value for this default skill level. The
value is used to measure skill gaps. For example, if you give a value of
10 for a skill level defined as proficient and a value of 25 for a skill
level defined as expert, when you create a skill report to measure gaps,
you will see a value of 15 as a measure for the skill gap.

Click Submit.
Example
This example shows a system administrator creating the skill level type Language,
adding the skill level Proficient to that type, and associating a value for the
level.
