Name

The Name or title of the skill.

Version

The Version number of the skill. All skills start with version 1. Once the initiative has been approved, changes can no longer be made, unless a new version of the initiative is created. Then changes can be made as needed for the new version.

When viewing the skill, you can view a previous version by selecting it from the Version drop-down.

Status

The Status of the skill from lowest to highest status:

Incomplete - the skill is a work in progress and/or is missing some required data as defined in a business rule.

Complete - the skill is complete, including all subordinate/child items.

Lock for Review

oThe skill is complete and ready for review.

oYou can only edit the skill if you have the Review privilege assigned to your role.

oTo change the Status to Lock for Review, you need the Edit or Review privilege assigned to your role.

oTo change the Status back to Incomplete or Complete, you need the Review privilege assigned to your role.

Locked

oThe skill is complete and has been reviewed, no more work is allowed.

oNo one can edit the skill and related content without unlocking the skill first.

oTo change the Status to Locked, you need the Lock privilege assigned to your role.

oTo change from Locked to any other status, you need the Unlock privilege assigned to your role.

Approved

oThe skill is approved when the initiative is approved.

oNo more changes can be made to this version, you must create a new version of the initiative in order to make changes.

When you save a change in Status or lock a skill, the required Business Rules will run to check whether anything is missing for the skill or any of its children. Any identified issues are listed on the Business Rules Results screen. If the status of a skill is increased (say from Incomplete to Complete), all subordinate/child skills of it will also be changed to that status, if they have a lower status. If the status of a skill is decreased (say from Lock for Review to Complete), the status of all parent/higher items will be decreased to be no higher than that value.

For example, an Incomplete task has one subtask that is Incomplete, one Complete, and one Locked. If the task is changed to Lock for Review, the Incomplete and Complete subtasks are changed to Lock for Review. The Locked subtask remains Locked, as it has a higher status. If the Locked subtask is changed to Complete, the task is changed to Complete (as would the job and duty, if their status was above Complete). The remaining subtasks’ statuses are unchanged.

Type

The Type of skill. This is set by the system when the skill is created.
