Standard Picklists in Mentoring Programme Configuration

The following standard picklists are supported. To use these picklists, make sure that they are defined in the data model and that you are granted the necessary permissions. In addition, you can configure custom picklists for use with mentoring programs. Both standard and custom picklists can be used more than once.

  • Competency
  • Department
  • Division
  • Location
  • Gender
  • Job Family
  • Job Role
  • Job Code
  • Job Level

Standard picklists cannot be removed from the selection in Mentoring program configuration.
