Create a Skill
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to use Skills.
Create a new skill: Click Create in the top right corner.
Fill in the name, desrioptin and categori
- Name: When creating a skill, start by giving it a clear and concise name that represents what it covers. This name will be visible to your users
- Description: Optionally, write a description to explain what the skill is all about.
- Category: Choose a category that your skill belongs to. For example, if your skill is about closing a store, the category could be "Store Manager".
Voilá! Then you have your first Skill, and you are ready to add it to your content.
How to add a Skill to a Learning Path, Event or Plan
To do this, open the content you want to add Skills to and click 'Settings'. On the Skills tab, you can select the Skills that you want to attach to the Learning Path, Event or Plan, set the skill level, and click 'Add'. Once you publish the path, the skill will be added.
Setting the Skill level
This level type allows users to receive a rating of 1-5 for the Skill. When you attach the Skill to your content, you can decide what level users will receive for completing it.
Skill points are a measure of your overall skill level, not your progress in individual learning paths. This means that if you currently have 3 skill points in communication and take a Learning Path that awards you 2 points in communication, you will still retain 3 skill points in communication.
Customize Level Names and Descriptions
If you'd like to reflect your company's language or expectations more closely, ou can rename and describe each level (1–5) by selecting 'Customize levels' in the top right corner of the Skills tab:

Good to know
Removing a skill from your learning path will not affect your users. They will still have the skill. You have to delete the Skill entirely to remove it from your users.
Skills do not apply retroactively.
If you add a Skill to a Learning Path after some users have already completed it, those users won’t automatically receive the skill. To earn the skill, they’ll need to re-complete the relevant content.
