Resolution

What does the custom option mean in the competency section?

  • Custom competencies are competencies hardcoded into a template
  • Unlike Job specific competencies, custom competencies will appear on the form for every user
  • Unlike Core competencies, custom competencies can be specific to the template
  • With Core, every template that selects Core competencies will pull the same competencies

Selecting competencies to be included in this section

  1. Go to Manage Templates and select a template
  2. Edit Fields and Sections > Competency field
  3. Check the "Custom" Box

  1. These competencies will populate on all newly launched forms from this template

Note: In case of 360 forms, You can only add custom competencies via XML configuration of your template. This functionality isn’t currently available using Manage Templates in Admin Center. After you add custom competencies, the Custom checkbox, which is grayed out in your template, will be checked automatically. Reference XML is provided in  Custom Competencies | SAP Help Portal.
