Ability to Backdate a Competency Award

Functionality

In release 25.02.1, the ability to backdate a Competency awarded was added in specific locations in the application. A new Issue Date field was added that allows the award date can be set to the actual date that a learner completed the requirements, even if the reviewer or administrator awards it at a future date.

In this release, there are two additional locations where the Issue Date field will be available when awarding Competencies.

Ability to Delete Competencies Regardless of Usage

Functionality

By default, Competencies cannot be deleted if one or more of the following conditions is true:

  • One or more users has been awarded the Competency.
  • One ore more learning modules use the Competency to dynamically assign instructors.
  • One or more Competency assessments use the Competency (Performance License function).
  • One or more appraisals use the Competency (Performance License function).

In release 25.02.2, we have added a system configuration setting that allows administrators to bypass the usage check for these conditions and permanently delete a Competency.

Details

To enable the setting:

  1. Go to Manage Center > System > General Settings > System Configuration.
  2. Choose Competency Manager in the Select a Category field.
  3. Enable the Skip usage check when deleting a competency field.

  1. Click Save.

When this setting is enabled, deleting a Competency will remove it from all users (including Competency history records, if applicable), modules, assessments and appraisals.

Important! Exercise caution when using feature.  The Competency will be deleted permanently and cannot be restored.

Migrate User Competency and Certification History

Functionality

In release 25.02, we added the ability to capture Competency and Certification history.  Prior to this release, if a User ID was migrated, any captured history would not be migrated to the new User ID.  As of release 25.02.2, history is migrated along with all other user information.

Job Profile Competency Quota Analytics Updates

Job Profile Competency Quota Analysis Locale Display

Functionality

Language bundles can be assigned to both Job Profiles and Competencies.  As of release 25.02.2, if a user's locale matches an assigned language bundle, the Job Profiles and/or Competencies will display in the appropriate language when running the Job Profile Competency Quota Analysis report.

For example, a Job Profile and its assigned Competencies are assigned a Spanish language bundle.  The report would display to a user assigned a Spanish locale using Spanish language bundle as shown below:
