Competency Comments
door Andrew Berke - Thursday, 10 July 2025, 14:16 PM
 

When a manager is rating a competency, there is a place to add comments. I can't find where to view those comments in order to identify any issues with the employee not successfully completing the competency within a resonable amount of time. For instance, employee A is revewed and signed off. Employee B still needs more practice before being signed off. I can add notes about this, but am not sure how I can go back and see those notes at a later date. I don't see an option in reports. Is there another place this is visible? I would like to see the string of comments that have been added.

Hi Andrew

The comments should be visible in the Activity log in the Competency details page in the description field

There is also a feature request TL-45545 to add the comments as a column in the competency rating report source that looks as though it has been prioritised for upcoming development

regards

Hi,

I've been reading this post and it's something that we've been asking about for a couple of years. Is there any update on when feature request TL-45545 to add the comments as a column in the competency rating report will become available?

Thanks

Albert

Hi Albert

The ticket is in the backlog and has been assigned a minor priority after being created in July 2025 . What is the timeline are you wanting for this feature ? If you require this asap and have developer resources available it may be possible to add this to the report source code see https://totara.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DEV/pages/121184188/Adding+a+column

Sorry I missed the reply here. No I don't have developer support but would rather await it being rolled out across the platform as a standard option.

I would have thought as the data is being stored in the database, I would have thought adding this to a report source could be a simple addition to the system. Would really like to see this.

Any update?

Thanks

Albert

Hi, Bryn from the Totara team here.

We don't have an update on when this will be resolved, sorry. If you haven't already, please jump over to our feature request tool and add your vote and any comment to the related item: https://totara.canny.io/feature-requests/p/add-optional-comment-for-a-competency-to-reporting.

This helps us keep track of demand across all the smaller improvements like this, and our teams regularly look for smaller items we can move forward with.

Thanks

Bryn
