Previous: Entering skills data


Congratulations. You are making great progress. 


You should now have your system set up at a basic level and can start assessing!


For some organisations, this is enough to meet their needs and they can now go off and start using the system and getting the great insights that Skills Base provides.  


Skills Base has a default set up that selects the most common settings to start with.   However, Skills Base is a very powerful and sophisticated platform, and you’ll find there are a range of things you can do via the system configuration.


Before we go any further, please remember that this section is OPTIONAL.  You don’t need to do anything here unless you want to start experimenting with more advanced system functions.  If you are happy to accept the defaults, then you can simply skip to Step 4. Training.  You can always revisit this section later.


So, if you’ve stayed and want to learn more about advanced set up, then let’s get into it!


The following is a list of the areas that can be set up in more detail (depending on your license type – see https://www.skills-base.com/pricing for more info on what is included with each license type):

  • Security Groups
  • Settings
  • User Preferences
  • Notifications
  • Additional Set up for Advanced Usage
    1. SSO: integrate with single sign on for automated login
    2. API: interface with other platforms to push/pull data automatically
    3. Training: map training content from an online source to skills and skill levels
    4. Customization: brand Skills Base for your organisation
    5. Multiple Roles: assign more than one role to an individual person
    6. Assessment due date by team: define fixed assessment dates on a per-team basis


Below you will find more information and some videos to assist setting up the additional features of Skills Base.
