Skills

The skills area provides the opportunity to record and manage the skills of staff. Tracking time-constrained skills such as expiring certificates is a useful feature. The page shows staff with expiring certificates. Additionally, skills can be attached to selected jobs so that only staff with relevant and up-to-date skills can do the job. (See Jobs for more information.) You should also refer to Day Skills to review the skills set of staffing for a given day.
