Job Profile Custom Attributes

Job Profile custom attributes can be created to capture job profile information unique to your company for organization and filtering purposes. They are applied at the job profile level.

To create and manage job custom attributes, your role must have unrestricted access to the Job Profile Attributes feature.

Create a Job Profile Custom Attribute

Go to Manage Center > Talent > Competency Manager > Job Profile Attributes.
Click + Create Job Profile Attribute.
In the Attribute Code field, enter a unique code for the attribute.
In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the attribute. For multi-language systems you can enter the label key that will be used to look up the localized name in the user's preferred language.
In the Type field, select the type of data represented by the attribute. Job profile attributes can be any of the following data types, which determine what type of values can be assigned to them:

Free text (a single line of text up to 255 characters)
Text area (multiple lines of text)
Drop-down (select the value from a list). Note: You will need to save the attribute before you can add values to the drop-down list. Please see Configure the Attribute Drop-Down Values below for additional information.
Numeric (In PeopleFluent Learning versions up to and including 21.04, fractional numbers less than 1 must start with a zero; for example, 0.75, not .75). Select the Sum total when printing or reporting checkbox (located below the Type field) if you want to show the sum of values.
Check box
Date (a calendar tool to select a date)

In the Display Area Settings section, choose where the attributes will be displayed in the system.

Learning Path - displays the attribute in the Job Profile Summary page in the learning path.
Job Profile Details - displays the attribute in the when a user views a job profile's details.

Click Save. The attribute is added to the list.

Attributes can be edited, but there are restrictions on changing an attribute's type. For additional information, please see Allowed Transitions Between Dynamic Attribute Types.
