When including a competency assessment within an SMP task, you must create an SMP template with a placeholder for the competency assessment. The competency assessment placeholder is added as a sub-step within a Profile step. This is only a placeholder for an SMP-based competency task; the specific competency task is selected when the SMP task is created.
Note: The Competency Task sub-step option is only available for manager and assessor SMP template types. It is not available for job pool templates because in job pool tasks, you do not assess incumbents.
Note: You many only include either a Competency Results sub-step or a Competency Task sub-step, but not both. If either sub-step is selected, the other sub-step type becomes unavailable.
To create an SMP Template, go to . Then, click the Add Template link.
