Competencies: View Screen Shot

Navigation: Main Menu --> Data Entry (Tab) --> Competencies

As opposed to the section in Personnel Details where Competencies are allocated to persons, this facility is where Competencies are defined. You would create, modify and delete Competencies here. Note: Deletion will not be allowed if the Competency has been used in any related child records - see below.

Competencies are the basis for establishing a person's qualification for a position and grade. See Required Competencies.

The Find facility searches 'Competency Code','Scope' and 'Description' for the Competency you want.

The Competency Code must be unique. You will not be allowed to enter a given code twice.

Codes have a 'Scope' of  'N' -Defined Nationally OR 'L' - Defined Locally (Botany only).

Most, if not all, Competencies are specified in company documents used across the country.

  • Competencies can only be used in other facilities once defined here.
