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
