Manage Skills for Job Assignments

In the Job assignment skills screen of the Skills feature, you can manage the list of skills and expected proficiency levels associated with each job assignment for your organization. Assigning skills and proficiency levels can improve job recommendations, learning recommendations, and scheduling recommendations throughout Dayforce.

Role feature access: Skills > Job Assignment Skills

When you open the Job assignment skills screen, you see a list of all of the job assignments that were configured for your organization in Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments. If skills are already assigned to the job assignments, they’re shown in the list for your reference.

If needed, you can filter the list of job assignments using the Filters button. After setting the filter fields, you can apply or save the filter. When saving a filter, you can set it as the default view so that the filter settings are automatically applied each time you open the Job assignment skills screen.

The actions that are available in the Job assignment skills screen are described in more detail in the following table.

Before You Begin: HR administrators can also manage the skills and proficiency levels for job assignments in Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments. Changes made in either the Job assignment skills screen in Skills or in Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments are shown in the other feature automatically. For more information about managing skills in Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments, see Create Job Assignments.
