Creating and Updating Qualification Profiles

Follow these steps to create a qualification profile:

  1. Enter a SetID for the qualification profile. You can create a qualification profile for any SETID.

    The SetID value is your human resource (HR) business unit if you are creating a qualification profile for your own use.

  2. Enter the name of the qualification profile.

  3. (Optional) Define the job tasks associated with the qualification profile if you are using PeopleSoft Human Capital Management (PeopleSoft HCM) as the employee source database.

  4. Complete all of the information that is relevant to the qualification profile.

This section discusses how to build or modify qualification profiles for your own use or to share among specific SetIDs. You can specify:

  • The profile description.

  • The role competencies and job task in PeopleSoft HCM that are associated with the profile.

  • Profile competencies.

  • Profile accomplishments.

Defining the Profile Description

Use the Qualification Profile page (RS_RESRC_TEMPLT) to create or modify qualification profiles for other users (if you are an administrator) or for yourself.

Navigation:

  • Resource Management > Define Templates > Qualification Profiles > Qualification Profile

  • Resource Management > Define Templates > My Qualification Profiles > Qualification Profile

At the prompt, select the appropriate SetID if you are building a qualification profile for users in a SetID to share. The SetID value is your HR business unit if you do not have access to build qualification profiles for other SetIDs.

Enter the name of the profile you want to define.

Go to the Profile Description group box.
