Hi All,

can you please help me to understand the use of "different from" & 'importance (only available when optional is selected)" under skill section while creating a skill mapping profile.

RE: Skill mapping profiles

Hello Subhransu,

Thank you for reaching out our community. I will try to explain a little this feature.

If you run the Skill mapping process, those selections (and the combination of them) will influence the results - points and percentage.

For your example, if you run the process with "Different from" OFF, Optional OFF, like in your screenshot, then the results will show you the employee
or employees who DO have that Invent skill with a level of 3.

If you check "Different from" to ON, when you execute the process, it will bring you a list of
all employees who DO NOT have this "Invent" skill, of level 3.

If you check Optional ON, it will bring you a list of all employees (cause you told the process that this skill was optional), but in the results the Points and Percentage will be different. The employee with this Invent skill of level 3 will be shown with a percentage of 100%, cause he has it, while the other are listed, but with a percentage of 0. In other words, the other employees do not have the skill, but if the process was supposed to show them, it did, but the fit percentage is zero.

Values get more interesting if you have more skills added. Then there's a calculation based on Skills level and Importance that you set for each.

Will show you a quick test from my environment. I am adding 2 new skills, Test Comm and Test Comm2. Assign them to one employee, with levels of Test comm=3 and Test comm 2=5.

Will set a Skill mapping with both these skills,

and will run process for TestComm to be 5, but highest importance (6 in my case), and TestComm to be also 5, wit low importance.
Since the employee in question has TestComm at level 3, the process is expected to show a low fit percentage.

And here it is , only 14.29

I will switch just the Importance

and re run the process

Now the employee has a higher percentage, cause even though the Skill level of Test Comm is only 3 out of 5, the importance of this is low. As expected, after running the process with the above setup,

I hope my explanation above helps you, please confirm. And if you still have questions, we are here to help.

Best regards,

RE: Skill mapping profiles

Thank you very much Ana for your detailed explanation.

Appreciate your effort.

Still didn't understand what is the significance of having a importance value while I am marking a skill optional?

( Does it mean, importance value brings points and percentage and any one has point and percentage in the result have this skill which is marked optional in the search)

Do you have the formula how the point and percentage gets calculated in the result.

Under the "INCLUDE" there is worker and contact, what is contact means here? And in the result also its blank.

Regards,

Subhransu

RE: Skill mapping profiles

Hello Subhransu,

Two very good questions :-)

I played around a little with my demo data and I noticed the following:

- the max points = Sum of all "Importance" values.
- the Percentage = importance / max points *100

Here's how -->

My employee has these two skills

If I set the mapping like this

it means that I am looking for employees with TextComm level 3 , and TestComm2 level 5. which means my employee fits 100%.
And the result will show the same. As you can see, the total points = 9 (6+3).

If I were to look for

This means that my employee will only have the second skill (cause for the first level 5 is required, and he only has level 3), and the total points is now still 9, but he will only have a percentage calculated as 6/9*100 = 66.67

And just for test sake, I will change importance of TestComm2 to 5. Then rerun process.

I expect to get a total points of 8, but 5/8 would be the fit percentage.

And here it is, 62.5%.

Regarding your other question, if you were to have any, you would find them in Organization administration > Global Address book.
Pick any row here, and see "Relationships" section. An employee who would be a contact as well, will be shown here as -->

However, I think this makes more sense if there is an integration with FinOps, cause here in Human Resources contacts have no skills attached, while in FinOps contacts do have Skills set under Competencies section. (Sales and Marketing > Relationships > Contacts).

But will not go too deep with this.

Let me know if the above helped you understand the Skills calculations in regards to Points and Percentage.

Best regards,

Thanks Ana for your detailed explanation.

Can we change the importance values? I mean the drop down instead of 1-6 can we have 1 to 10?

Hello Subhransu,

To answer your first question --> Importance is delivered as 1 to 6, and there is no option to change that.
What did you mean by "Contact is disabled"?
Actually, which is these options are you choosing to see the results?
