Capability Categories - Overview
With this release, organizations can categorize their capabilities using a new Manage Categories page. Organizations can manage a hierarchy of categories, up to five levels deep. A skill can be tagged with up to three categories. Organizations can automatically import categories from the Skills Graph and tag existing Skills Graph skills with a relevant category. Organizations can also create custom categories to meet their organization's specific filtering needs, such as relevant business unit, domain area, relevant geography, etc.
How Does this Enhancement Benefit My Organization?
Capability Categories allow administrators to categorize their capabilities into a hierarchical list of categories. This can facilitate skill management by filtering skills by business unit, functional area, vertical, or any other relevant categorization in the Capability Library.
