New Skill Details Flyout
With this release, a new detail-rich and contextual Skill Details flyout is available when a user clicks a skill label from the Skills Profile.
This flyout offers generic meta-data about the skill, including the description, category information, related training, and information about the skill about the target user (self, a direct report, peer, etc.), including target proficiency, status, current proficiency, gap analysis, etc.
The new Skill Details flyout provides all of the information a user needs to know about a skill in one place. This makes it simpler to determine which skills are most important and drives development forward more precisely.
The new Skill Details flyout is reorganized with a header, a footer, and three tabs:
- The Header contains key information on the skill and a dynamic action bar in the footer of the flyout provides relevant, relationship-based rating and endorsement actions.
- The Overview tab includes status, relevant proficiency information, gap analysis, and the skill’s description.
- The Rating tab shows the summary rating data for the user’s proficiency in the skill and historical and comment thread views.
- The Resources tab highlights ways the user can develop their proficiency in the skill, including related learning and suggestions of proficient mentors.
