About Skillsets

Curriculum > Skillsets

Curriculum > Skillsets lists of all skillsets in a division or a company. The Details tab shows the selected skillset in form view.

This table describes the key fields in the Skillset form.

Field	Description
Skillset Title	Use a title so that you can recognize its function when searching for this skillset from other forms. Examples: "All Employees Basic Safety Training", "Customer Relations Rep Core Development" or "Elkridge Warehouse Truck Loading and Unloading Procedures"
View Public	When checked, other division administrators can see this skillset and add to the curriculum of their employees. This is not very common.
Automatically assign to new & transferred people	If checked, the skillset is assigned automatically to all new and transferred people, with a due date of one month from the date people are added to the division. Other characteristics of such skillsets: Such skillsets cannot be components of any job If you check this box for an existing skillset, Frontline will not assign it automatically to existing people. You must do this task manually by clicking the People tab and adding all existing people. You cannot check "View Public" for any such skillset (i.e. these cannot be shared). Such skillsets cannot be company-wide. A company admin must select a division if creating such a skillset at company level.

Note: The buttons on the upper right allow you to copy, delete or edit and update the selected skillset. The New button on the list view or the form view allows you to create a new skillset.

Curriculum > Skillsets > Components

The Components tab displays the Skillset Components form, which allows you to manage the components (training items) that are part of the selected skillset and various factors that affect the due dates for these training items.

You can add (delete) training item components to (from) a selected skillset in this view. The Change button shows all active training item components of the skillset in one form.

It allows you to make training items mandatory and change their due dates, retest periods or periods due from assignment simultaneously. The Test Remediation flag (not commonly used) allows the learner to remediate while testing. This form makes it convenient to manage the factors that affect assignment due dates.

Curriculum > Skillsets > People

The People tab lists the learners who have been directly assigned the selected skillset.

People with the skillset in their curriculum are listed in the table on the left. For a selected person, you may edit the due date, attempts allowed, and activate/inactivate skillset in the person's curriculum using form on the right. Clicking New takes you to this form, which allows to you add the skillset to one or more learners' curriculums.

Note: This form is identical to the form accessed using People > People Information > Curriculum tab that allows you to create curriculum for a selected learner.

Curriculum > Skillsets > Jobs

The Jobs tab lists the jobs that contain the selected skillset.

The jobs that contain the skillset are shown on the left and the details for the selected job are shown on the right. The Components link on the right displays all components of the job selected on the left. The People link shows people who have been assigned the selected job. You can add (delete) the selected skillset to (from) a job in this view.

Best Practices for Skillsets

Create generic skillsets such as "All Employees training" or "Basic Safety training" and make them components of all jobs. These skillsets can contain public library courses and can automatically handle your routine, recurring training.

Use Curriculum > Skillsets to set up refresher training, using either the initial training content or new training content for the refresher.
