You can add capability guides to an existing role guide or while creating a new one.
To do so, open the role guide and click the Capability Guides tab.
You can either create a capability guide from scratch or reuse an existing capability guide.
You can reuse an existing capability guide in one of two ways:
- Reuse it only by reference, which means you can’t edit it. Whenever the
collaborators or the author of the source capability guide update it, those
changes will be reflected in this reused capability guide.
- Make a copy of an existing capability guide and make changes to that copy.
However, any changes that the author or collaborators make to the original
capability guide won’t reflect in your copy.
If you’re creating a capability guide from scratch, these are the details you need to
provide:
-
Enter a name and description for the capability guide.
You can click AI Assist in the Description box to use
generative AI to create a description for the capability guide. GenAI will
consider the role guide name, its description if available, and the
capability guide name and its description if available, and generate a
relevant description based on these. After the text is generated, you can
make further edits, as required.
-
Specify how others can reuse the guide. You can also choose not to allow
reuse.
-
In the Days to complete tasks field, enter how many days
an employee (who’s assigned the role guide) can take to complete the tasks that
are listed in the capability guide to attain the skills in that guide.
-
In the Required skillssection, add the skills that an
employee must attain to fulfill the requirements of the capability guide.
Note: If you don't see any skills in this section, check
whether you've added Skills Center section to the content section of the
Guide Requirements profile type. To check this, go to .
After adding a skill, you can click the skill to view
the skill attributes, such as whether the skill is required for achieving
readiness for the role, or whether it’s required for achieving mastery in the
role, and optionally, what level is required for readiness and mastery. Note
that skills can be configured to only achieve one of the two, readiness or
mastery. You can edit the skill to change these details.
-
In the Task to attain required skills section, search
for and add learning courses that will help the employee attain those skills.
When you click inside the search box, you’ll see a list of suggested learning
items that have outcomes that are the same as one or more of the skills you
added in the Required skills section. When the employee
completes the learning item, their talent profile is updated with these skill
outcomes.
You may also see tasks with learning items that don’t have outcomes matching
the skills you added. However, when the role guide is assigned to employees,
these tasks will not be assigned to the employee. The intent of adding these
tasks is to allow role guide authors to continue creating the role guide, and
later go back to their learning application to add these outcomes to those
learning items, or request the learning administrator to add them. In the
interim, you’ll see a warning that reads Task doesn’t help attain
skill.
-
In the Resources for required skills section, search for
and add other learning resources that will supplement the learning tasks. The
learning items suggested in this search box don’t update an employee’s talent
profile on completion.
What to do next
Assign the role guide to employees.
