Skill Types
In Odoo 18, adding diverse skill sets to an employee profile is essential for an accurate overview of team competencies. The Skill Types option, accessible under the Configuration menu once the Skill Management module is installed, allows for detailed skill categorization.
This window presents a predefined list of skill types, but additional skills can be added by clicking the New icon. For instance, if you want to add "Languages" as a skill type, you can specify multiple languages an employee is proficient in using the "Add a Line" option.
Additionally, each skill can be associated with specific proficiency levels under the Levels page, where you can enter a descriptive level name and rate of progress for each.
For example, a language skill might include proficiency levels like "Basic," "Intermediate," or "Advanced" to reflect the employee’s fluency. After defining the skill types and levels, you can assign a color for display. This feature will create a structured view of skills that can be referenced for project assignments and development planning.
