Managers and Admins have the ability to manage which Skills become part of their Users’ Profiles, and overall skill set, by using the Add Skill option, via the Users page. This makes planning out a skills development strategy far easier for both parties.
Below outlines the necessary steps to start the process…
On the Users page select the 3-dot menu of your User, then Add Skills
The slide-out screen will open, showcasing all of the Skills associated with your chosen User. These are identical to the Skills the User sees from their Profile page.
You can add a Skill either via the search option or choose one of the Recommended Skills (which are based on a User’s Job Role).
Note✨: Admins can add Skills to any User from across the organisation. Managers can only add Skills to Users within the same Group(s) as themselves. Both of these Org User Roles, however, can also add Skills to themselves.
From the slide-out, a maximum of 30 Skills can be added per User. To remove a Skill you have added, select the “x” button - remember, you won’t be able to delete Skills added by other Users.
Once the necessary Skills have been added to the User, a confirmation message will appear, confirming that your changes were successful.
To Bulk assign Skills to one or multiple Users, choose the multi-select option. This will open the slide-out screen, but without the Skills already assigned to Users.
Recommended Skills will be shown, consisting of the top 5 Skills from the Popular Skills table, found on the Insights page. These are auto-populated on the slide-out, each time a Skill is added.
You can only add a maximum of 10 Skills at once, via Bulk assignment.
The same process can be achieved on the Users sub-page, via the Skills tab, by selecting the Add Skill button on the right.
Your Users will receive a notification indicating that their Skill list has been updated (whether added, removed or updated with a rating).
On the User’s Profile page, they will automatically see the Skill and its rating added, and which Admin/Manager has endorsed the Skill.
Note✨: Key points to note include the following…
Any Skills that are assigned to a User, are still included in Skills insights and calculations anywhere relevant, across your organisation’s workspace (e.g., Skills page).
Skills cannot be edited from the Add Skills screen, but can be removed if you have added them to your chosen User.
You cannot use the Add Skills option to assign
