Set up learning plan priority scales


Article Summary

Priority scales enable you to define the urgency of learning plan items. Priority scales can be used for courses, competencies and objectives in learning plans. You are able to set up multiple priority scales and select any scale for each component.

Create a priority scale

  1. Go to Quick-access > Learning Plans > Priority scales.
