Skills Approval

With this feature, you can delegate the responsibility of keeping your resources' profiles up-to-date. OpenAir notifies you when your resources update their skills in the Resource Profile. With your approval, the skills are updated.

Note:

To enable this feature, contact OpenAir Customer Support and request the Skills Approval feature.

Resources with either of the following role permissions can edit their own skills and experience in their profile:

When a resource makes a change to their resource profile and clicks Save & Submit, the change is marked with a "Pending" tag in their profile. Resources can make changes to skills that have been approved or rejected but not to those that have been changed and are still awaiting approval. When resources point to a skill that is pending approval, a tooltip is displayed to indicate that the skill cannot be edited.

You will also receive a notification that your resource has made a change to their resource profile. You can set these notifications in Administration > Application Settings > Resources > Notifications. Email notifications will be sent as with other types of approvals when changes are submitted. Reminders will also appear on the Dashboard.
