How do I Ensure that Skills are Moved to Attained Only After they're Validated?
You enable the option Move skills to attained only after they're validated in Skills Settings ().
This configuration enables to only consider a required skill assignment (core, role, or capability) as having been met when the skill has been validated, based on your skill confirmation settings. Also, the skill color treatment will only show as ‘dark’ once the skill is validated. Enabling this feature has the effect of having users continue to receive recommendations for skills that might show as Skills I have or Skills Attained (when viewed by another user) but will still be lighter colored – until they get validated or confirmed on the skill. Note that this feature will not change which group Skill I’m Developing or Skills I have that the skill goes into.
When the setting Move skills to attained only after they’re validated or when it's active and any of the endorsement score settings are changed and saved, the ESS job Delete Skill Endorsements and Recalculate Skill Confirmations is scheduled in the background. The ESS job recalculates whether the skill is validated.
When the setting is disabled and the user adds a skill in Skills I have, then they'd see a dark colored skill irrespective of whether the skill has been validated through endorsements. In the example below, the user has self-rated the skill ‘Application’ and because it’s not endorsed it’s not confirmed, whereas, because the skill ‘Api Integration Design’ has one endorsement whose score adds up to 100 it’s confirmed.
When the setting is enabled and the skills setting is saved, the ESS job recalculates the skill confirmation and the skills in the Skills Center are rendered as below.
The skill ‘Api Integration Design’ is confirmed due to 1 endorsement whose score is 100. The skill ‘Application’ is shown in lighter color to indicate that it's self-rated but not confirmed.
