Assigning Skills to Employees

Skills assigned to employees determine their eligibility for certain work.

The OPS > Employee Profile > Skills permissions determine whether you can view and update skills.
  1. Open the Employee Profile screen and set the Context (F3).
  2. Select an employee, then Skills.
  3. In the detail view, right-click and select Add New Record.
  4. Select the Skill Type to assign.
  5. If the skill is dormant, select Dormancy Flag.
    The skill is inactive until the Dormancy Flag is cleared. This option can only be selected for skills where an applicable dormancy type is defined in OPS Skill Types ancillary data.
    If the skill type is dormant, the checkbox becomes read-only. If you change it and try to save the change, a message appears stating that the change can't be updated.
  6. Enter the start and end dates of the skill's validity in the From Date and To Date fields.
    Outside of these dates the skill are invalid and treated as a missing skill.
  7. Optional: Enter Comments.
