What can you do on this screen?
A step is a major part of a subtask and the most specific form of behavior, and the smallest component defined in the task analysis. The Step screen has three tabs that you can minimize to see just the information you are working on:
•Step - for the main information about the step.
•Step Attributes - to list the conditions and standards under which the step is performed on the job, along with any resources that someone would have available when they do the step on the job.
•Interventions - any existing interventions that support the task, selected from the Interventions in LEAD.
Figure 84: Task Analysis > Step
On this screen you can:
•View the information by clicking on the Step folder.
•Edit the information.
•Select Show History to review the changes made to the information, including the user name and date/time of saved changes, and revert to an earlier saved revision.
•Preview the skill hierarchy.
•Copy the selected step into memory.
Note: Remember to go up one level in the hierarchy to a subtask before trying to select Paste.
•Delete the selected step. Once you've selected OK to the confirmation message, an Undo button displays on the bottom left of the screen that allows you to revert the deletion.
•Select Explain Flag to review the reasons the step has been flagged.
•Lock the job to prevent edits from taking place.
•Unlock a locked job to allow edits to take place again.

This tab captures the main information about the step in the following fields. Figure 86: Task Analysis > Skill Detail Screen - Edit Step Tab Verb The action Verb that defines the behavior of the skill. If a verb is not available, it can be added to the list on the Library > Verbs screen. Text The Text of the skill or the actual behavior of the skill (minus the verb). 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. 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. Step Type The Type of the skill is based on the learning domains of: •Cognitive - based on Bloom's revised taxonomy for the cognitive learning domain that covers mental skills and knowledge. •Affective - based on Krathwohl's taxonomy (an adaptation of Bloom's taxonomy) for the affective learning domain that covers emotional growth and feelings. •Psychomotor - based on Atkinson's adaptation of Dave's taxonomy for the psychomotor learning domain that covers manual or physical skills. While you cannot change the learning domains, the proficiency levels for each learning domain can be customized to your organization's need on the Customizations > Lists > Proficiency Levels screens. Status of Training The Status of Training field shows how and if the skill is currently being trained. Proficiency Level The Proficiency Level of the skill. The available selection is based on the learning domain selected in the Task Type field. The proficiency levels for each learning domain can be customized to your organization's need on the Customizations > Lists > Proficiency Levels screens. Proficiency Definition The Proficiency Definition provides an example of how someone can know that the proficiency level has been reached. This example should be measurable in some way, whether speed, accuracy, quality, or another measure. Type of Training The Type of Training field lists the types of training that are or will be available to support the current skill. To add or edit the list: •Select the Type of Training link to open the Type of Training Selection screen.
