  • The ability to create a new version of your Skill profile from scratch and make it the current version without having to edit a previous version

  • The ability to return to a previous (older) version of your Skill Profile, and make it the current version

The following 2 new User Planner features have been released:

  1. The ability to create a new version of your Skill profile from scratch and make it the current version without having to edit a previous version

    • Why may you want to do this?

      • You have too many changes to make, and you don’t wish to have to edit and/or delete all the previously selected skills

      • You are not happy with the selections you made during your surveys, and wish to start again with a blank slate

  2. The ability to return to a previous (older) version of your Skill Profile, and make it the current version

    • Why may you want to do this?

      • You are unhappy with recent changes that you made, and would like to go back to a version prior to the changes rather than re-edit the current version

 Instructions

Both of these features are available from the Skills Profile Planner tab

To Create a new version of your Skill profile from scratch:

  1. Use the new Create New Version button:

  2. It will open a blank Skill profile in edit mode, showing the full SFIA Framework

  3. You can then Edit the individual Generic Attributes and Professional skills to form a suitable Skill Profile that represents you competencies

  4. There are some rules to ensure your Profile follows some basic best practice guidelines:

    1. You must select a Level Of Responsibility (LoR) for each of the 5 Generic Attributes

    2. You must select at least 1 Professional skill

To return to a previous (older) version of your Skill Profile, and make it the current version

  1. Select the version of your Skill Profile you wish to return back to e.g.:

  2. A new button Make Latest will now appear (It only appears if you select a version prior to the current version):

  3. Select the Make Latest button

  4. You now have the option to Confirm you wish to continue by selecting OK

    1. This will make a copy of that version to a version number = Current Latest + 1

    2. And that will now be your current version

  5. Or you can Cancel if you do NOT wish to proceed
