Skills tab

In the Skills tab of the Users workspace, you specify user language fluency skills. Language fluency information is used to determine the ability of a user to translate information into another language. For example, some areas of the Central Designer application that require translation skills include:

• Study event short title.
• Form short title.
• Item Question and Short Question.
• Codelist item label.
• Query text.
• Email text.
• Layout text.

You must specify at least one language fluency skill for each user, even for users who will not be translating. The skill set of a user must include all locales in which the user will develop study metadata, including the locale that is chosen as the default locale for a study, or, if a default locale is not chosen, the regional setting for the computer. Otherwise, the user does not have access to all functionality for the locale.

You cannot perform certain tasks in the Central Designer application until you have a language fluency skill in your own language.

To open the Skills tab:

1. Click the Users button.
