Cause

There could be multiple reasons for this issue, one of the common reasons for this issue is that Readiness rating is either not configured or incorrectly configured in Org Chart xml.

Resolution

Clients need to either open an case with Cloud Product Support or contact Implementation Partner to check the readiness xml configuration under Edit Org Chart Configuration in provisioning.

Incorrect configuration:

<gradientset>

            <gradient>

                <label>C+2</label>

                <value>C+2</value>                                           * Incorrect value

                <index>3.0</index>                                                 * Incorrect value

            </gradient>

Correct configuration:

<gradientset>

            <gradient>

                <label>C+2</label>

                <value>1.0</value>

                <index>3</index>

            </gradient>

* value tag accepts only numeric value and  you need to put Readiness rating scale score in this tag
* index tag accepts only integer value (from 1 to 10)

Value tag of other talent fields like Risk of Loss, Impact of loss, etc should have the same number as present in the corresponding picklist mapped to the field. More information is present in below wiki page:
