Edit proficiency by assignment


Article Summary

By default the minimum proficiency value is set on the scale associated with the competency via its framework. However it is also possible to determine minimum proficiency value per assignment. If proficiency by assignment is set, a user will achieve proficiency set by the assignment(s) rather than the scale. 

To determine minimum proficiency for a specific competency assignment follow these steps:

  1. Go to Quick-access menu > Competencies > Manage competency assignments.
  2. Select the Edit proficiency value by assignment button.
  3. Select the competency assignments for which you want to edit the minimum proficiency value. Use the provided filters to find assignments. Note that you can bulk edit the minimum proficiency value for multiple assignments as long as they are assignments for competencies in the same framework. 
  4. Click Edit. You will be presented with the competency scale associated with the selected competency framework.
  5. Select the value you want to use as minimum proficiency on the selected assignments.
  6. Click Save changes. The selected scale value will now be used to determine proficiency for users assigned through the selected assignments.

If you want to remove the minimum proficiency for assignments, follow the steps above but select Remove assignment-specific proficiency value at step 4. After saving the change, the minimum proficiency value as set on the competency scale will be used to determine proficiency for users assigned through the selected assignments.

If a user is assigned to the same competency through multiple assignments and the minimum proficiency value has been overridden on some assignments it is now possible for a user to be considered proficient through one assignment but non-proficient through another.
