Deleting Skills
To manually define skills:
Select Tools > Lists > Skills. The Skills dialog box appears.
Click Add to add a new row.
The Active check box is selected by default. Deselect this check box if you do not want anyone to use this skill.
Type a name for the skill in the Skill Type field.
Type a brief description of the skill in the Description field.
Select Yes from the Skill Req by All Emps? drop-down list. If selected, any job requiring this skill will then need ALL employees assigned to the job to have the requisite skill. If not selected, only one employee will need the skill.
Repeat steps 2-6 to add additional skills.
Click OK.
Select Tools > Lists > Skills. The Skills dialog box appears.
Edit any of the skills fields as necessary.
Click OK.
If a skill is in use, meaning that it is assigned to at least one employee, the skill cannot be deleted. In these instances, we recommend you deactivate the skill by clearing its Active check box. Doing so means that the skill will continue to be assigned to those employees and jobs who had it before, but the skill will not be able to be assigned in the future.
Select Tools > Lists > Skills. The Skills dialog box appears.
Select the skill you want to delete.
Click Delete. A confirmation dialog box appears.
Click Yes. The Skill is deleted.
Repeat steps 2-4 to delete additional skills.
Click OK.
