Using the skill wheel

The skill wheel is a way to view employee skill profiles and the results of a skill gap analysis. The skill wheel shows each skill in each profile.

When viewing a skill gap analysis, the wheel shows the difference between the target level and the actual level of each skill in the compared profiles.

Each skill is displayed as a segment of the wheel. You can specify the number of segments to show by entering a number in the field. The wheel can show a maximum of 12 segments at one time. If a profile contains more than 12 skills, you can spin the wheel by clicking the up or down arrows to the right side of the wheel. When you do this, new skills are added to the wheel and previously viewed skills disappear.

The number of rings inside the wheel corresponds to the number of skill levels assigned to the skills in the profile. When you click a segment in the wheel, you change the skill selected in the table in the lower part of the form.

The colors shown in the wheel are indicated by the legend to the right of the wheel. To show or hide the legend, select or clear the check box. Target levels are always the darker color. The actual level is superimposed on the target level as a lighter, semi-transparent shade of the same color so that you can see its value in relation to the target.
