Creating Categories for Grouped Skills

After you have identified the additional skills and categories that are required for your competency management system, you can add them from the Competency Administration screen.

NOTE:  If the rating scale you want to use does not already exist, you can create it. For more information on creating a rating scale, see Setting Up Objectives and Reviews.

The Competency Administration Category list is used to classify skills. Related skills are grouped logically, using categories and subcategories. Categories define the structure through which skills are ordered.
