Create a competency type

Competency types allow you to create custom fields and apply those fields to competencies set up within your framework.

To create a competency, follow these steps:

1. Go to Quick-access menu > Competencies > Manage types.
2. Click Add a new type.
3. Enter a name in the Type full name field.
4. Optionally enter a Competency type ID number.
5. Optionally add a Competency Type Description.
6. Click Save changes.

Your competency type is now set up and can be used to classify competency items in your framework(s).

Types are optional and can be associated with a competency when it is being added or edited.

The type names and their custom fields can also be displayed in user reports built through the report builder.
