Skills Profile

Navigation:    Main Menu »» Courses »» Sections »» Supplementals/Skills Profile

Applies To:    Enterprise   

Overview

The Skills Profile section allows a user to create a master profile template of identified skills for a course section to later be used to add the profile to clients.

  • Up to three Skills Profile templates can be created per Course Section.

    • Content 1: Skills related to the content of the course.

    • Content 2: Alternate skills related to the content of the course.

    • Universal: Skills related to a universal set of foundations.

  • A master Skills Profile must exist for a Course Section before the profile can be added to a matching Client Assignment.

To Add a New Master Skills Profile

A user must have Add permission to perform this function.

  1. Go to Main Menu »»  Courses »» Sections.

  2. Search for the Course Section desired.

  3. Click the View button in the row matching the desired Course Section.

  4. Click on the Supplementals/Skills Profile tab while in view mode of the Course Section.

  5. Click the New button to the right above Skills Profile results list frame.

  6. Enter the text for the skill (required). Maximum 175 characters.

  7. Enter a Category (required) for the skill.  A Category can be repeated for numerous skills.

  8. Enter a Category Order (optional) to determine the order in which the skill categories will display on the printed report version of the profile.  Leave blank to allow the skill categories to display alphabetically by category as the default.

  9. Select a Profile Type:  Content 1, Content 2,  or Universal.

  10. Click OK to save or Cancel to exit without adding a new skill.

Note:

  • Since Profile Types will print on separate reports, use different Profile Types for different skills only if you desire different profile reports.

  • Depending on the length of the text for a skill, wrapping may occur when printing the Skills Profile.  The user should monitor the number of skills and the length of skill text if the desire is to limit the Skills Profile to one printed page.  Profiles with too many skills or many skills that wrap text will automatically create a second page for the profile.

  • If a new skill is created after Client profiles have been created, run the Client Skills Profile Add function again to add the new skill to the existing profile.

  • Skills cannot be deleted once they are used in a Client's Skills Profile.
