Go to: Left-side menu > Content > Skills.

Expanding Skills reveals four options:

• View skills — opens the Skills list, where you create, edit, link, and delete skills.
• Create a skill — opens the skill creation form directly.
• View themes — opens the Themes tab of the Skills list.
• View question banks — opens the question bank repository.

Result: Selecting View skills opens the Skills list, showing every skill created on the platform with its description, linked theme(s), and available actions.

Create a skill

Go to: Skills list > CREATE SKILL (or left navigation > Skills > Create a skill).

1. Click CREATE SKILL in the top-right panel of the Skills list.
2. Enter a Skill name (required).
3. Select the Language the skill is being written in.
4. Enter a Description explaining what the skill covers.
5. Optionally, select one or more Link theme(s) to categorise the skill.
6. Click CREATE.

Result: The new skill appears in the Skills list, sortable by name or description, and is immediately available to link to courses, question bank items, and skill assessments.

Edit or delete a skill

Go to: Skills list > row-level Actions column.

Each row in the Skills list has three action icons:

•  Link icon — opens the courses and question bank items linked to the skill (see Section III).
•  Pencil icon — opens the Edit skill form.
•  3-dot menu — gives access to Manage translations (scoped to that skill) and Delete.

To remove several skills at once, use EDIT SKILLS > Delete skills in the right-hand panel instead of deleting rows one by one.

Go to: Skills list > link icon on a skill row.

1. Click the link icon on the row of the skill you want to connect to learning content.
2. The "Courses and questions linked to: [Skill name]" window opens, with a Courses tab active.
3. Use the Search field, the Category filter, and the Type filter to find the course you want, or check Only courses that are already linked to review existing links.
4. Click LINK next to a course to associate it with the skill.
5. Click CLOSE when finished.

Result:  The course now counts toward that skill's linked content, and the skill becomes selectable when assessing learners registered on that course. A course's own management page shows a running total of linked skills under User Tracking.

Go to: Settings > General > Skills > Assessment of skills.

This is where you turn skill assessment on or off for the entire platform and define the rating scale assessors will use. This panel is separate from the Question Bank panel above it.

1. Check Activate skill assessment for learners to enable skill assessment across all courses.
2. Under Assessment type, choose one of three formats (see table below).
3. Add a new criterion by typing it into "Type your criteria here and press enter," or use the pencil, drag handle, or trash icon on an existing criterion to rename, reorder, or remove it.
4. Click SAVE.

Once skill assessment is activated in Settings (Section IV) and a skill is linked to a course (Section III), you can rate an individual learner's progress on that skill.

From the course's Registered users table

1. Open the course and go to its Manage course page.
2. In the Registered users table, find the learner and click the Add assessment icon in the Actions column.
3. In the Edit assessment window, select the Skill , then the Criteria , and enter a Comment (up to 250 characters) if your assessment type requires one.
4. Click VALIDATE.

From the learner's Progression details page

1. From the Registered users table, click the eye icon next to a learner to open their Progression details.
2. Select the Skill assessments tab.
3. Click ADD SKILL ASSESSMENT to create a new rating, or use the pencil and trash icons next to an existing row to edit or remove it.

Result:  The Skill assessments table records the skill, the criterion selected, the date, and the name of the assessor — visible to anyone with access to the learner's Progression details for that course.

Go to: Skills list > MANAGE ALL TRANSLATIONS, or a skill row's 3-dot menu > Manage translations.

1. Click MANAGE ALL TRANSLATIONS to see every active platform language, its accessibility status, and its translation progression percentage across all skills. The default language always shows 100% with no available actions.
2. Click ADD LANGUAGE to make skills translatable into a new language.
3. Click GENERATE ALL TRANSLATIONS to auto-translate every skill into every language at once, or use the globe icon on a single language row to open its translation editor.
4. In the translation editor, select a skill field to compare the source text with an editable translation field. Click TRANSLATE to auto-generate a suggestion, adjust it if needed, and click SAVE.

To control who can see skills in a given language, open the 3-dot menu on a language row and select Manage accessibility, then set the language to Accessible or Inaccessible. The Generate translation and Delete language options are also available from this menu.
