Soft Skills - Manage Soft Skills
Soft skills are the skills your users can endorse each other on in the Recognition Module. Admins create them here: add a new soft skill, edit its details, or delete one you no longer need.
How do I add a soft skill?
Go to Modules > Recognition > Soft Skills.
Click Add Soft Skill.
Enter the Soft Skill Name.
Add the Soft Skill Image. For best display, use a round image of 500x500 pixels, in translucent PNG or JPG.
Choose a Background Color.
If you see the Skill Tag field, select a tag. When the field is shown, it is required.
Click Create.
If your company uses more than one language, use the language tabs in the window to fill in the name and image for each language.
The Skill Tag links the soft skill to a skill from the Skills Catalogue, the skills taxonomy of your platform. Endorsements on a tagged soft skill count in Skills Mapping. Without a Skill Tag, endorsements still work in Recognition but do not appear in Skills Mapping. See Skills Mapping Dashboard: reading the Skill Coverage Heatmap.
How do I edit a soft skill?
Go to Modules > Recognition > Soft Skills.
Click the soft skill name (or the arrow at the end of the row) to open its details page.
Click Edit.
Update the Soft Skill Name, Soft Skill Image, Background Color or Skill Tag.
Click Update.
If you try to leave with unsaved changes, confirm that you want to discard them.
How do I delete a soft skill?
Go to Modules > Recognition > Soft Skills.
Click the trash icon on the soft skill's row.
Confirm Delete this Soft Skill?.
What else is on the soft skill details page?
Besides the skill's image, name and tag, the details page lists the endorsements that soft skill has received, with filters and an export option.
