Add Alternate Names for Skills

In Skills > Skills Library, you can add alternate names for both custom and system-generated skills. Adding alternate names can help people find the skills if multiple terms are used. Adding alternate names might be especially useful for system-generated skills, which are used for a wide range of occupations and industries.

To add alternate names for skills:

  1. Go to Skills > Skills Library.
  2. In the Active tab, click Add Skill.
  3. Add one or more alternate names for the skill.
  4. Click Save.
