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:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Competencies > Manage types.
- Click Add a new type.
- Enter a name in the Type full name field.
- Optionally enter a Competency type ID number.
- Optionally add a Competency Type Description.
- 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.
