Description	The official description of the skill at that level

Done	- Indicates the planned action is completed - Indicates the planned action is NOT completed

Displaying All Skill Gaps - Step-by-step guide

The All Skill gaps provides an expanded level of filtering and the ability to address a wider range of gaps simultaneously. This helps to evaluate where actions can be added to the plan that address more than a single gap, thereby improve aspects such as cost effectiveness. e.g. Addressing skills gaps that impact both Current and Future Jobs.

From the All tab in the Skill Gap panel:
Select the required filters:
1. Job/Role - Current & Future:
  - Required skills
  - Desirable skills
2. Profile - SelfAssessed
  - Not selected
  - Partial
The panel will automatically update the Skill Gaps based on the selections. Gaps are grouped according to the SFIA Categories/sub-categories/Skills

Additional Information provided in the All skill gap table:

Job/Role Skill	Which of the filters selected for Job/Role apply to this Skill gap	Multiple selection for a single gap may represent a good reason to address this gap, as it indicates it will resolve multiple deficiencies
Profile Gap	Which of the filters selected for Profile apply to this Skill gap
