Proficiency Levels and Targets

In the upper-right corner of the page, each of the proficiency levels are displayed with their corresponding name. Viewers can hover over a proficiency level to view a description.

If proficiency targets are configured for the selected skills' capability model, then the following assessments are displayed in the matrix:

  • Target Met - This indicates the user's rating is at or above the skill's proficiency target.
  • Near Target - This indicates the user's rating is within 80% of the skill's proficiency target.
  • Off Target - This indicates the user's rating is less than 80% of the skill's proficiency target.

Filter Users and Skills

The following filters are available:

  • Employee Search - Search for a specific user in the matrix. When a search is conducted, the matrix only displays users who match the search criteria.
  • Skill Drop-down - Select a specific skill to display. When a skill is selected, only the selected skill is displayed.
  • Proficiency Level Drop-down - Select a proficiency level to display. When a proficiency level is selected, only ratings with the selected proficiency level are displayed.

People Matrix Data

The following information is displayed in the People Matrix:

  • Employee Name - The first column displays each user who was configured to be included in the People Matrix. The matrix only displays users who are within the viewer's permission constraints.
  • Skills and Proficiencies - The matrix displays the user's proficiency level for each of the skills.
    • The proficiencies are based on the selected Rating Source.
    • If a proficiency target is configured for the skill's capability model, then the matrix displays whether the user has met the target, is near the target, or is off the target.
      • On Target - This indicates the user meets or exceeds the target.
      • Near Target - This indicates the user is below the target by one level.
      • Off Target - This indicates the user is below the target by two or more levels.
    • If no proficiency target is configured for the skill's capability model, then the rating circles are shaded to reflect the proficiency level. Higher levels are displayed with a darker color, while lower levels are displayed with a lighter color.
    • When Declarations Only is selected as the rating source, a checkmark is displayed if the user has declared the skill. A proficiency assessment is not displayed.
    • When Latest Peer Rating is selected as the rating source, if there are multiple ratings from peers for the skill, then the latest average rating is displayed.
  • Skill Actions - An Actions menu (three dots) is available by hovering over the skill rating in the matrix. Actions are available based on the rating source and whether the People Matrix feature connector is enabled for the source. The option names may vary as they can be configured in the feedback template. The following actions may be available if configured in the feedback template:
    • Request a Proficiency Rating
    • View Details - Select this option to view the skill details in a flyout. See Skills Profile - View Skill Details.
    • Update Ratings - Select this to provide a new rating for the user. When a new rating is provided, the matrix displays the new rating. Updating a rating adds a new rating for the user; it does not overwrite the previous rating. See Skills Profile - Provide Skill Feedback.
    • Other options may be available.
  • Average Proficiency Level or Overall Target Achievement Score - This column displays the user's average proficiency rating level for all of the skills in the matrix. The average only includes skills with ratings. When proficiency targets are available, this column displays the number of ratings that are on target. This column is not displayed when the rating source is Declarations Only.
