Ability Fields
Title
The Title or text of the ability entry. Ability entries are used in the task analysis for tasks, subtasks, and steps (aka skills) to state the required innate capability to perform the skill. Through training you can improve abilities and skills.
LEAD already contains the ability entries from the Department of Labor O*Net OnLine database, which are used on the Competencies tab. Feel free to add more specific ability entries, as needed, or even to expand on the existing ones.
When adding ability entries, concentrate on those that are essential for the skill to be trained, and not all possible ability requirements. It is entirely possible for a skill not to have any ability entries.
Status
The current Status of the library item. Once the initiative that uses the library item is approved, then the library item is also approved. You can also approve a library item manually by viewing the item and then selecting Approve on the screen. You cannot approve a library item from the Edit screen.
