To enter a skill competency:

2. Complete any of these optional fields, and click OK:

   • Skill Description

   • Date Acquired

   • Status

3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each skill competency that you want to enter.

   • Skills

     Enter a code that identifies a competency table or category for which you can track employee competencies. Values are:

     01: Training

     02: Skill

     03: Accomplishment

     04: Certification

     05: Degree

     06: Language

     This is a UDC (05/CY), but the values are hard-coded and cannot be changed. Therefore, each of the competencies that you track must pertain to one of these competency types. Adding additional values to this list requires system configurations.

   • Competency Code

     Enter a code that specifies a competency within a competency type. For example, a competency for the competency type Skill might be C programming or Driving a forklift.

   • Skill Description

     Enter a user-defined name or remark.

   • Date Acquired

     Enter the date on which the employee acquired the skill.

   • Status

     Enter a UDC (05/CR) that indicates the progress that the employee has made toward a level of proficiency in a particular competency.
