How to Specify Behaviors for Competencies

You can refine job requirements by specifying behaviors for competencies included in job profiles.

Set up competency-behavior associations in job profiles sections. These associations and only these associations can be added to the Skills and Qualifications page for employees and employees can be rated against those behaviors.

1. Create catalogs of behaviors. You will associate one behaviors catalog with each competency section that you want to enable with behaviors. The values in each catalog will be used to associate with individual competencies in the section that the catalog is associated with. You can associate different values with different competencies. From My Client Groups > Profiles > Item Catalogs , select the Behaviors template.
   
2. Enable behaviors for competencies sections in the Person Profile Type. This will automatically enable behaviors for model profiles configured with these competencies sections (through Job Profile Type inheritance). From My Client Groups > Profiles > Profile Types > Edit Person Profile Type.
   1. Select the Competencies section.
   2. Select the Behaviors check box to enable behaviors for this competencies section.
   3. Select a specific item catalog representing the catalog of behaviors to be used later for individual competencies in this competencies section.
   4. Specify the Relationship type between the behaviors and the competencies. This type will be used to determine how to roll up Proficiency Ratings from behaviors to competencies.
