Knowledge Base

Person's Dashboard

The Person Dashboard is where people can show off their skills, interests and knowledge. From the dashboard, people can also launch in self-assessments, identify opportunities to close skill gaps, create personalised training pathways, or identify roles and teams within the organisation they may be well suited for based on their unique skills and interests.

  • Qualifications Tab
  • Roles Tab
  • Competency Tab
  • Trends Tab

Note: the information people can view, access and edit on the Person Dashboard (and elsewhere on Skills Base) will depend upon that person's Security Group and how settings have been configured in the instance.
