Grow Deployment Accelerator

Configure the new Grow Deployment Accelerator agent to automatically add skills to job profiles and learning items and run the recommendation profile task as part of a single process. It can be run for all employees or for a specific group as defined by an HCM filtered list.

This accelerator agent includes the Jobs Skills Enrichment agent, Learning Skills Enrichment agent and the Recommendation Profile process. Each of the tasks are run with minimal inputs to reduce the administrative overload. This helps in quickly setting up the skills in your environment and employees will start seeing quality recommendations early on.

The Grow Deployment Accelerator agent can be created by clicking Add or an existing agent can be rerun by selecting and clicking Run Agent.

Before you rerun an agent, you can edit and change all its parameters, except the audience. Any changes to the agent are saved and cascaded to the linked child process rows - the Jobs Skills Enrichment agent, Learning Skills Enrichment agent and the Recommendation Profile process. You can run this agent any number of times by changing its parameters.

The Job Skills Enrichment and Learning Skills Enrichment child agent rows are created under the Learning and Development Agents listing page. These child agent rows created due to the Grow Deployment Accelerator agent and therefore can’t be edited or run standalone for ensuring data integrity with the parent process. However, the Recommendation Profile child process can be run independently. It's listed on the Recommendation Profiles page.

When an agent row is deleted, it deletes all the linked child rows it created.

Before you start
