Actions or Suggestions Displayed in Swim Lanes

Skills assigned by your manager

If this swim lane appears depending on the profile option setting, it displays resources for skills that your manager has assigned to you to fill skill gaps. You’ll see one or more tabs depending on how many skills your manager has assigned. Each tab represents a skill, and the cards that appear below are the learning resources that can help you close the gap.

Skills and tasks assigned by your leadership

This section introduces the tasks included in a role guide that's assigned to you, and they help you achieve the skills required for the role. Each tab in this section represents a capability guide of the role guide. Note that a capability guide tab will be listed here only if it has at least one task that helps achieve a required skill that's included in the capability guide.

If you’ve attained some of the skills defined in the role guide, you will no longer see those tasks.

Note: If tasks were added to a capability guide, but those tasks don’t help achieve required skills (that is, they don’t have a required skill as an outcome that updates the person’s talent profile), those tasks won’t be displayed here. If you want to see all the tasks included in your capability guides, including completed tasks, you can click the Know Your Role button to view your career role details page, and click the Role Guide tab.

If there are more than three tasks in a capability guide tab, you'll see a Show more link that you can click to view the other tasks.

When you view a task, you can see the resource type (whether it’s a course or specialization, and so on). You'll see the title of the item and the list of skills that can be attained on completing the item. You’ll also see the estimated effort for completing that item. When you expand a task, you'll see the Enrol button that takes you to the enrollment details page of the learning item. The Learn More button takes you to the catalog details for the learning item.

Development resources for your role

This swim lane was earlier called Resources to meet job requirements. If this swim lane appears depending on the profile option setting, it displays learning resources to help fill gaps in skills and qualifications defined for your job or position profile by Human Resources. Each tab represents a skill or qualification where you have a gap, and the cards that appear below are the learning resources that can help you close the gap.

Your current learning

Learning items that you’re enrolled in and haven’t completed. Learning items such as courses, specializations, videos, or tutorials appear in this list. Required learning assignments show first, sorted by due date. So you'll see overdue learning items first, followed by learning that's due soonest. Voluntary learning assignments show next, sorted by assigned date, with the most recent assignments appearing first.

Current development journeys

Journeys that are assigned to you, so you can plan what tasks to take on next. There's no predetermined display order for these journeys, so you can review them and plan your next steps.

Development journey tasks to finish

This swim lane was earlier called Tasks to finish. It lists the tasks from the Career Development journeys currently assigned to you. You can see the next set of pending tasks from these journeys and act on them as required.

Suggested learning for you

If this swim lane appears depending on the profile option setting, it displays learning suggestions that can help fill any gaps between the skills defined in your position profile and the skills you’ve attained. If a position profile doesn’t exist, it can help fill skill gaps for your job profile. You'll also see learning suggestions for skills assigned by your manager. In addition to skill gaps, these suggestions also help fill competency, language, certification, membership, education, and honors gaps.

New learning in topics you follow

Learning that was most recently featured in the topic communities you follow appears first, followed by learning that was most recently added to those communities.

Learning based on your favorite gigs

Learning that helps you qualify for your favorite gigs by developing skills that are marked as required for your current role.

Learning popular with your coworkers

Voluntary learning that’s completed recently by your manager and peers is considered as popular or trending.

Popular in your role

These are opportunities and resources that others in your role are engaging with or pursuing, so that you can access and take on items that are becoming increasingly popular and relevant for your role.

  • Learning courses or specializations that are popular among others in the organization in your job role or job family. Voluntary learning that’s completed recently is considered as popular or trending.
  • Topic communities that are popular in your job role across the organization.
  • Skills suggested for your current job role, specifically based on your job title, ranked by occurrence across the application.
  • Gigs that are popular among others and help you develop the skills required by your job role. Gigs are sorted based on the most skills matched against your job role. If there are no required skills in your current role, then the gigs that match your user preferences in Opportunity Marketplace will show, in the order of the most preferences that match.
  • All global journeys of the Career Development category that have been assigned to employees in your organization.
  • Connections popular with others in your primary job assignment. These are sorted based on those connections who have taken on the most development activities such as learning and gigs.

Other Swim Lane Features

A new tab called Additional Resources has been added to swim lanes that have skill-based tabs. This tab appears when any of these conditions are met:
  • The learning item does not have a skill outcome added to it.
  • The skill is added as an outcome to the learning item, but it's not curated.
  • The skill is present in your job profile, but it's not curated.

When you hover over a learning recommendation, it appears as an expanded card with extra information about the learning item, a Get Started button, and a more information icon.
