Skills and Education UDF

You also need to create an Org Detail type Skills and Education UDF that points to the Skills and Competencies that have been set up on the Competencies window of the Configuration menu in Quadrant. It requires two lookup attributes, one for Skills and one for Education. You will then attach this UDF to each of the Org Details under the Occupational Grouping Org Level. When you add the UDF, you will select the appropriate skills and education for that occupation.

To create a Skills and Education UDF

1. Open the Configuration menu, and then the User Defined Folders window.
2. Select Org Detail from the User Defined Folder Type list box at the bottom of the window.
3. Click Add.
4. Select the UDF group you created for recruiting purposes from the Group list box.
5. Give the UDF a readily identifiable name, for example Web Skills and Education, in the Description box.
6. Click Save, and then click Edit.
7. Click the Add button beside the Attribute pane at the bottom of the window.
   The UDF Attributes dialog opens.
8. Select the Web Skills and Web Education attributes in the Available pane and use the arrows to move them to the Selected pane.
   If Web Skills and Web Education attributes do not already exist, you will have to create them following the steps in the section below.
9. Click OK.
10. Click Save.
