How do I configure and run the Skills Library Description agent?

You can now add descriptions to all the skills in a skill catalog by using the Skills Library Description agent. You can add skill descriptions to any skill catalog except Lightcast Skills Library.

Before you start

  1. Enable Enhanced Dynamic Skills.
  2. The administrator needs to have the functional security privilege, Manage Skills Library Description (WLF_MANAGE_SKILLS_LIBRARY_DESCRIPTION). By default, it’s added to the Skills Library Administration duty role. If you’re creating a custom role, ensure that this privilege is added to the role.

Here's what to do

  1. Configure and run this agent:
    1. Go to My Client Groups > Profiles > HCM Agents.
    2. On the Add menu, select Skills Library Description.
    3. Enter an agent name and its description.
    4. Select the skill item catalog to which you want to add skill descriptions.
    5. Select the language in which the descriptions must be created.
    6. Click Apply.
    7. On the Learning and Development Agents page, select the agent and click Run Agent.
    8. When the agent completes, click Download and Update. This downloads a Microsoft Excel workbook where skill descriptions generated by the agent are available for you to review.
    Note: Before you can review the Excel workbook, you need to download and install the Desktop Integration Installer tool from Navigator > Tools.
  2. Review the Microsoft Excel workbook:
    1. Review the skill descriptions in the Proposed Description column and make edits, if required.
    2. Select Y in the Accept column against each description to confirm adding it to the skill.
    3. Once you're done reviewing all skill descriptions, on the Oracle Visual Builder tab in the Microsoft Excel plug-in, click Upload Changes.
  3. Verify whether the skill descriptions are added to the target skill item catalog:
    1. On the My Client Groups > Profiles page, click Item Catalogs.
    2. On the Item Catalogs page, click Content Items.
    3. Filter based on the skill item catalog name or skill name.
    4. Click the Edit icon in each skill row to confirm that the description is added to the skill.
