Custom fields and competencies question

Hi folks,

I'm struggling with populating custom fields associated to types of competencies. Where can I do it?

Through the learning plan feature, I can flag competencies as completed using a particular scale. However, I don't find the way to choose a value for custom fields created before.

Thanks.

Hi Joan,

The Competency custom fields are for adding more information about the competency itself (i.e not as part of the awarding of competencies to a user as part of their learning plan).

For example:

Go to Site Administration > Hierarchies > Competencies > Manage competencies
Select a competency framework
Click on the "edit" cog icon for any competency which has been assigned a type (if you haven't already created a type then go to Manager Types and create this)
Custom fields will be at the bottom of the "Edit competency" screen
Add some information in the custom field
Save changes

This information will now be displayed in the list of competencies and can be added as a column option in some report builder reports.

Please let me know if you have other questions,

Thanks

Tom
