Qualification Profiles

A qualification profile predefines the standard traits for a specific job role, such as project manager or sales consultant, and stores them as a template for future use. A user who creates new service orders can use qualification profiles to identify the qualifications that are necessary for each resource request. When a qualification profile is selected, it populates the resource request with the competencies, desired levels of proficiency, importance settings, and accomplishments as defined on the qualification profile.

You can also associate a qualification profile with a project role in PeopleSoft Program Management. The qualifications on the Qualification Profile page appear as default values on the Update Generic Resource Qualifications page for a generic resource's primary project role. This association of qualification profiles with project roles is especially useful when you create service orders or initiate express searches for generic resources in PeopleSoft Program Management. The qualifications from the Update Generic Resource Qualifications page for the generic resource automatically appear as default values on these pages:

• The generic resource request that you create by changing the generic resource's status to Requested on the Resources page.

• The service order resource request that you create for the generic resource from the Manage Generic Resource page.

• The Express Search page that you initiate for the generic resource from the Resources page.

The SetID is a key field on the qualification profile. You can select a qualification profile on a resource request if the business unit on the service order shares the same SetID as the profile. Create qualification profiles with a shared SetID if you have multiple business units that deliver identical services.

Qualification profiles are optional.
