How Duplicate Competencies are Removed

When you create or update a performance document, duplicate competencies are prevented from being added to the document.

Here’s how duplicates are eliminated when you create a performance document with competency sections:

• Any competencies added to a section in the performance template will populate the performance document first.
• If both model profile and person profile competency sections exist, competencies in matching model profiles (such as job, position, or organization) that haven’t already been added from the performance template section are added.
• Finally, all competencies that exist in the employee’s matching person profile that haven’t already been added from the performance template or model profiles are added. This process avoids having to manually remove duplicate competencies.

You can’t manually add a duplicate competency if it already exists in a worker’s performance document. If a duplicate competency is added to an employee’s person profile, it won’t be duplicated in their performance document.
