The following updates have been implemented in AG5 Skills mobile app:

Multiple e-signatures on a single result

Now you can add and display e-signatures from employees, managers, trainers, or anyone else involved in the assessment process.

Enhanced e-signature files with declaration

Before signing, users are now required to check a declaration checkbox confirming their acknowledgment. This declaration, along with the signer’s details, is included in the generated e-signature file for added clarity and compliance.

Skill attachments available

When viewing an employee’s portfolio - or your own - skill attachments are now visible and available for download under each skill’s accordion section — giving you quick access to relevant documents directly within the app.

Improved Prerequisite Warnings

We’ve strengthened the existing warnings to make it even clearer when a result’s prerequisites haven’t been met, helping you take the right actions at the right time.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5 Skills mobile app:

Employee List

Easily find employees and access their up-to-date portfolios to verify their skills quickly and streamline the result submission process, saving time and effort.

New Way to Add Results

Now you can add results directly from the employee skill details page for greater flexibility. Simply go to the employee's profile, select a skill, and click the "Add result" button.This update makes skill tracking faster, more intuitive, and reduces steps to improve efficiency.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Skills List & Library now combined

We’ve combined the Skills List and Library into a streamlined interface, so you can manage and organize your skills in one place.

• All skill libraries have been merged into a single, unified tree structure

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Insights Dashboard Now Available!

We’re thrilled to announce the release of the Insights Dashboard, now available for Admins, Super Users, and Team Managers! This powerful tool provides valuable insights into your team’s data, focusing on compliance aspects and helping you better manage skills, identify gaps, and make data-driven decisions.

To help you get started, we’ve prepared these resources:

• – Learn more about the Insights Dashboard

• – A detailed guide to how the numbers and calculations work

User Proxying for Admins

The is now available for all Admins. This allows you to access AG5 as another user to troubleshoot or assist with their account. It’s a great way to provide hands-on support!

Clearer Prerequisite Labels

To improve clarity, we’ve updated the name of one of the prerequisite rules:

• The “Allow” rule is now called “Allow with Warning”, better describing how it functions in practice. The rule will show a warning if prerequisite skills are not fulfilled, but users will still be able to add a target skill.

This change ensures better understanding and alignment when managing prerequisites.

New “None” Filter for Faster Searches

We’ve added a “None” filter to help you quickly find:

• Skills without a category or type

• Employees without managers, job roles or teams

• And other similar gaps in your data.

This enhancement simplifies the process of identifying and addressing missing information with minimal effort.

Batch Action to Delete User Accounts

Admins can now delete user accounts in batches, simplifying account management and saving time when handling inactive or outdated accounts.

Upcoming releases

Past releases

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Unified Qualification Results List

We've merged the “Qualification Results” and “Qualification Results (Auto Achieved)” lists. All qualification results are now conveniently available in a centralized location, streamlining their tracking and management. Additionally, a new filter allows you to easily distinguish manually achieved and auto-achieved results within the unified list.

Please note that Auto Achieved Qualification Results are only applicable to AG5 users that use Prerequisites Rules.

19 September release is focused on back-end updates and improvements, those are not visual changes for the end users!

As usual, we will start around 19:00 CET. During this process, our application may be a bit slow or offline for a short time, thank you for your patience.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

New charts in the Insights dashboard

We’ve expanded the Insights Dashboard with four new charts, helping you gain deeper insights into your data:

• Compliant result per Skill and Employee. Quickly assess and compare compliant results for each skill and individual employee

• Identify and address potential skill gaps more effectively

These enhancements make it easier to monitor skill compliance and problem areas at a glance. Please note that users will only see the skills or employees to which they already have access.

For example, if someone manages two teams, they will only see data for those two teams when no filters are applied. If they wish to view data for a specific team, they can use the matrix filter to narrow the results.

Training & Skill Category Fields in the Skill Detail Page

Managing skill information is now simpler! We’ve made important updates to the Skill Detail page. The Training Duration and Training Cost fields are now standard in all skill definitions.

Data from the original custom fields specifically related to Training Duration and Training Cost (if previously in use) has been transferred to these new standard fields. As a result, those original custom fields will no longer be visible. However, for a limited time, they will still be available in the Skills export for reference. If anything seems incorrect or missing, please reach out to our support team.

Additionally, we’ve added a skill category field to both the Skill Detail page and when creating or editing a new skill. This will offer you more visibility, flexibility, and control over skill categorization.

Stronger Warnings for Unfulfilled Prerequisites

To prevent errors and ensure better compliance, we’ve reinforced warnings when prerequisites are unfulfilled. This update makes it clearer when required skills are missing before progressing.

A Visual Upgrade to the Groupings Page

We’ve refreshed the Grouping page (used to manage job roles, teams, departments, or any other setup your company has) with a new look for more consistency and improved usability. This update enhances navigation and provides a more seamless experience on the AG5 platform.

Opening Attachments Directly in the Browser

You no longer need to download attachments to view them! You can now can open an attachment directly in your web browser by simply clicking it. This makes accessing important documents faster and more convenient.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Pagination across lists

We’ve added pagination to all major lists in AG5—making it easier than ever to browse, manage, and act on your data.

Why it’s great:

• Easier navigation through large datasets

• Improved performance and page load times

• More control over batch actions, making it easy to select and manage 100+ items across pages in one go.

Group employee skill results

We’ve added a Group by feature to the Employee → Skill results list, giving you new ways to organize and analyze your data.

Group results by:

• Skill types – Easily compare compliance between soft skills, technical skills, and more

• Skill categories – Understand how employees are performing across skill groups

• Requirement – Get a clear overview per location, team, or department

• Status – Instantly see which skills are missing, expiring, or compliant

This feature helps you spot issues faster, tailor your actions, and make smarter decisions—without needing to export or filter endlessly.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Pin what matters in the matrices page

Keep your most important matrix cards at your fingertips. You can now pin key matrices and access them directly in the new Pinned tab, so your most important items are always within reach.

New user account setting: “Portfolios you manage”

We’ve introduced a new user account setting as part of a Custom user role: “Portfolios you manage.” When this setting is enabled, the user automatically gains access to the portfolios of all employees for whom the user is assigned as manager. This gives managers direct and easy access to their team’s portfolios.

You can read more about this setting in our

Note: During the release process, users who are already managers and have access to their people will be transferred from a My Portfolio role to a Custom user role with this new setting turned on.

Drag & drop columns

You can now easily reorder columns in all overview tables by dragging and dropping them. This feature helps you customize the table layout to fit your preferences.

Prerequisites approvals, made visual

If your organization uses master data approvals, the prerequisites page now shows a visual approval flow. This provides an overview of the approval process, helping you quickly identify what is pending while keeping the overall workflow clear.

Super users can now access the history page

Super users can now see the system’s overall history, making it easier to track changes and maintain full visibility.

More ways to add skill exemptions

Adding skill exemptions is now more flexible. You can do so directly from the employee portfolio page, alert List, or skill pages – not just from the matrix.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5 Skills mobile app:

Upcoming Plannings Widget

Stay organized and never miss a beat. Our new widget allows you to view and manage your upcoming plannings right from your home screen

Results Expiring Soon Widget

Keep track of important results before they expire. This widget provides timely reminders, so you can take necessary actions promptly

Upload Files, Photos, and Videos While Adding Results

We've made it possible for you to enrich your results by allowing the upload of files, photos, and videos directly within the app

Minor Improvements & Bug Fixes

We've fine-tuned the app for better performance and squashed some bugs to ensure a smoother user experience

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

New visuals for pending actions

We’ve updated the way pending actions, such as plannings, self-assessment requests, and approvals, are displayed across AG5. Previously, every ongoing process was marked with the same blue dot icon.

Now, each action now has a distinct visual indicator. This small but impactful change makes it easier for users to instantly understand what’s happening.

From now on:

• Plannings are marked with a blue dot

• Open self-assessment requests are marked with a yellow diamond

• Results waiting for approval are marked with a tan, upside-down triangle

• Multiple actions are marked with a pink asterisk

Multiple plannings per employee

You can now assign multiple training plans to a single employee in one action, giving you more flexibility in managing complex upskilling paths and parallel learning programs. This new option is available directly from the matrix or the employee page.

Prerequisite completion made visible

When assigning a skill result or exploring a skill in the matrix, AG5 now shows you a prerequisite completion ratio if not all prerequisites are met. This gives users clear context to avoid premature completions and helps maintain data accuracy and compliance.

Enhanced position tagging experience

You can now select multiple tags for a position without the dropdown closing each time. Previously, you had to reopen the menu after each tag, which was slow and frustrating. This UX update makes tagging faster and easier.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

New user role

A new user role is now available: Custom user. This user is fully customizable, and is able to access View or Edit modes in certain areas of AG5, such as Qualifications, Groupings, Employees, Qualification Events, and My Portfolio. Custom Users are also able to create and share skills matrices.

When should you use a Custom user role? Read our Help article for a few examples: https://help.ag5.com/en/articles/17-examples-of-user-accounts

Super User roles will still be available, but you will no longer be able to grant them additional permissions. Instead, Super Users with additional permissions will be converted into Custom users, with permissions that correspond to the Super User’s previous permissions.

For more details, read our Help article:

Naming changes

From now on, the "Dashboard" tab (the default tab that you see when you log in) will be called "Matrices". The new name will better reflect the content of this page.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Take control with skill versions

You can now manage skill versions directly in AG5. This feature allows you to control exactly when changes take effect and automatically mark results as expired when a new version takes effect, saving manual work. With skill versions, you gain better control and visibility over skill data – a huge benefit when it comes to audit preparation.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5 Skills mobile app:

Self-Assessments

Access and submit the self-assessments that have been specifically requested from you, making it easier to keep track of your own skill development.

What’s new with the AG5 update?

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Adding multiple results

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Localization of Groupings and Rating Scales

To better support our diverse user base, you can now localize groupings and rating scales within AG5. This allows you to add translations for names and descriptions into selected languages to meet the specific needs of different regions.

This new feature enables a more personalized, relevant, and accessible experience for users in various countries. It also facilitates clearer understanding and usability, enhancing user engagement and compliance with local requirements.

In this release, we focussed on back-end updates and improvements, and new languages. The back-end updates are not visible to the users but the new languages are:

• Finnish

• Czech

• Bahasa Indonesian

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Self-referential prerequisites

It is now possible to reference prerequisites with levels of the same qualification. You can now create a prerequisite ruleset so that it is only possible to achieve level 4 if level 3 is achieved, achieve level 3 if level 2 is achieved etc. This ensures clear and safe progression in levels of a single qualification.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

History page improvements

We have improved the History page, helping you more easily track changes in AG5, as well as provide you with additional information about exactly what has been altered, added, or deleted in specific entries.

Details of all changes made to AG5 are now visible in the sidebar after clicking on an action. You can also filter History using new filter types (i.e. employees, qualifications, or groupings), which can be used individually or combined to find your desired changes.

Please note that the History page is visible only to admin users.

1. A more accurate unavailability setting

In AG5, you could mark an employee as unavailable. We have improved this feature with the unavailability period, so you can more accurately specify one or multiple time periods when the employee is unavailable.

2. Updates in the AG5 Skills Portfolio App

Going forward, you'll also see the result remark in the qualification timeline.

AG5 Skills Portfolio App is available on App Store and Google Play.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Renaming ‘Qualification’ to ‘Skill’

To improve clarity and better align with industry standards, we have renamed 'Qualification' to 'Skill' throughout the AG5 platform. This change has already been implemented in several languages. We will continue to roll it out to all available languages in upcoming updates.

This phased approach ensures that the transition is seamless and compatible with regional requirements and language nuances. Please note that the update does not affect AG5’s functionality. Instead, it serves to increase alignment with common professional terminology.

Increased visibility of groupings description

To further enhance position creation and organizational transparency, we have increased the visibility of grouping descriptions within the AG5 platform. It is now possible to preview the description of a grouping when creating or editing a position – no need to click between different views.

Two-component approval for skill assessments

We have implemented a two-component approval process for skill assessments. This added layer of verification better supports audit requirements from organizations like the FDA (for example).

Note: To enable two-component approvals, please contact AG5’s customer service.

Enhanced custom exports with custom fields

We've enhanced our custom exports feature to include custom fields. This allows for more personalized and effective data management, as you can tailor exports to include exactly the information you need.

Login page release.

We are rolling out a new login page.

For this release, there will not be downtime, so you can continue using AG5.

Not only did we upgrade the looks of the login page, but this new login application will also make it possible to have SSO & two-factor authentication possible for 2 existing Apps: Skills Portfolio and Skills Assessment Apps.

If you would like to use SSO or two-factor authentication in one of our Apps, please update your apps via Google Play or the App store to the latest version.

AG5 Assessment App is available on and .

AG5 Skills Portfolio App is available on and .

1. Self-Assessment request filters

We have built a feature that improves self-assessment requests. Instead of simply requesting self-assessments from your employees, you can now filter only the qualifications which are required, which have a problem or warning status, or even filter qualifications that have a minimum number of employees requirement.

After specifying the filters, the overview page will provide you with the information on how many requests and the number of qualifications will be sent to each pre-selected employee.

2. Groupings

It is possible to create groupings from the groupings page. You can also export your list of groupings from AG5!

The groupings page in the Organization tab has received a large update. Apart from the new look, we have added the description field as well as the ability to specify the active period for a grouping.

3. AG5 Assessment App

We have also updated the Assessment app.

Qualification level descriptions are now properly shown in the app, including the standard AG5 formatting. It also has the ability to specify types of proof.

2. Fields of the type "Number" can't accept decimals as input.

3. Max amount of custom fields is 4. (Employee as well as Qualifications can have 4)

4. Custom fields can only be added to Employees or Qualifications.

In future versions these limitations will be eliminated.

We are happy to announce another release of our software. We have released both a new feature as well as many backend upgrades.

1. Groupings History - On the Groupings page, you can now see the history of each grouping from the organization structure.

2. Improved Self-assessment Email - The automatic email sent to employees when a self-assessment is requested now includes a link to the portfolio page, instead of the general link to AG5.

3. Added New Languages:

• Italian

• Russian

We are happy to announce another release of our software. We have released both a new feature as well as many backend upgrades.

Overall history

You can now see the entire history of changes in your AG5 environment.

Within this page, found in the Organization tab, you will be able to find whatever changes were made in your AG5 environment, timestamped and with the email address of the person who performed that change.

This will make it simple to find out who performed changes in AG5, but also how employees are using the software, what are the common actions, or just track overall activity in AG5.

Please note that we are still working on this feature and some information might be missing in the History of Changes. It will be further improved in upcoming releases.

The overall history page is available only to the admin and super users.

Language update

Language preferences are now saved in user data, rather than browser cookies. This change will be convenient when changing browsers or devices, but also allow us to create more user-specific features in the future.

Visual upgrade of employee page

The employee page was also updated with a new look. This is part of the major visual upgrade to AG5 which will continue in the following months. Follow the below links for more information about the visual upgrades:

1. New feature: Show Matrix in Alert list - you can see more about this feature in the video

2. An employee’s email can now be different from their account email - - Since the release in November it wasn’t possible to create different employee with the same email address. We got feedback from customers that they still required the feature. We have now solved this problem by separating the user account email and employee email. And only on the account email, we have the constraint that the email must be unique.

3. Two new languages: Polish and Turkish - We have added two new languages in our system

4. Last but not least, many process improvements for ”result approvals” and “self assessment requests - Most important changes were explained in an email we sent 3 weeks ago to all admin- and superuser accounts. And we also improved the help articles about these 2 processes:

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Simplified qualification owner management

You can now remove and assign qualification owners directly from the “Qualifications” page. By selecting a qualification and clicking on the “Actions” menu, you can remove the current qualification owner and subsequently assign a new one. This makes it easier to manage qualification ownership throughout the organization. Additionally, the “qualification owner” field is now included in custom exports.

Please note that the qualification ownership feature is only applicable to AG5 users that have explicitly enabled it (and use it in combination with results approvals or master data management). As such, it will not be visible to all users.

1. New language - AG5 has been translated to Chinese.

2. New help articles

Product Roadmap - To see which bigger changes are planned for 2022 and 2023! (we're already working on several, but these take multiple release cycles/ sprints).

"Requirement exemption" and "Revocation" - We have renamed "Personal requirement dispensation" to "Requirement exemption". To see the help articles, click on the respective name:

In this release, we introduce a new visual design for our application!

The changes in this release are only a first step, in the upcoming 4 to 6 releases we will step by step overhaul the whole application with this new visual look.

Why did we improve our design?

• To make AG5 accessible for more users! By adjusting our visual design for “color-blind” users.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Stacking for prerequisite rules with auto-achievements

Previously, you could create prerequisite rules that, when completed, would auto-achieve target qualifications.

Now, you can stack them – helping you streamline your employees’ certification and qualification statuses.

For example, when an employee has achieved the qualifications “Start Machine A”, “Stop Machine A,” and “Maintain Machine A,” you can choose for him or her to automatically receive the “Operate Machine A” qualification. Additionally, you can now specify that employees with “Operate Machine A, B and C” qualifications will automatically obtain the “Machine Lines Know-how” qualification.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Stay on track with workflow reminders

Never miss a critical step again! Our new workflow reminders feature lets you automatically send reminders when a workflow trigger is still met—reducing the need for manual follow-ups and improving workflow efficiency.

How it works: An email reminder will be sent automatically if the trigger conditions are still met after a set period of time—meaning the expected action hasn’t been completed within the defined timeframe.

We are happy to announce another release of our software. We have released both a new feature as well as many upgrades.

Alert list improvements

The alert list is not only visually upgraded, but the new visual design also made it easier to add new features, such as:

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Improved planning closure

We have upgraded our planning feature to provide you with greater control over your result entry process. When adding results, you can now select the specific plannings you wish to close. This flexibility allows for more precise planning management, moving away from the previous all-or-none closure system.

1. Level descriptions -

To make sure every user has the same understanding of what it exactly means to have achieved qualification on a certain level, you can now give each level a description. These level descriptions can be made visible while adding qualification results, to help users understand the differences between them, and select the right one.

Level descriptions can be defined generally within a Rating scale or more specifically within a Qualification.

In the picture below, you can see the level descriptions that are specifically defined for the Qualification "Drilling".

Here is the link to the help article about this new feature - And in the video below, a short introduction about it as well. The video also shows some minor improvements concerning the Alert list export, Matrix fly-out, and some labels.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Unified Qualification Results List

We've merged the “Qualification Results” and “Qualification Results (Auto Achieved)” lists. All qualification results are now conveniently available in a centralized location, streamlining their tracking and management. Additionally, a new filter allows you to easily distinguish manually achieved and auto-achieved results within the unified list.

Please note that Auto Achieved Qualification Results are only applicable to AG5 users that use Prerequisites Rules.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Enhanced Dialog for Planning Creation

The Planning Creation dialog has been significantly enhanced to provide more information about employees, skills, and other planning-related details. You’ll now have better insight into how skills and planning interconnect, allowing for more informed decisions and a clearer overview of your scheduling and planning needs.

The following updates have been implemented in AG5’s skills management software.

Enhanced Custom Exports for Prerequisites and Groupings

You can now export all available fields in Prerequisites and Groupings, including subgroupings, prerequisites, and related fields. This allows for more comprehensive and detailed data exports, so you can capture the full scope of your configurations and dependencies – and better manage and analyze your data externally.

Expanded Data Export Capabilities in the Alert List

Our Alert list feature now supports the export of large datasets – up to several hundred thousand rows. This allows you to handle and analyze extensive data sets without affecting performance.

Improved Performance

We’ve significantly enhanced performance when managing and navigating large and complex skill prerequisites. This means faster load times and a smoother, more responsive user experience – even for complex prerequisite structures.

Redesigned Electronic Record File for Resolved Approvals

We’ve redesigned electronic record files for resolved approvals. They are available for download from the History page, and now include a new look and additional details. This should enhance the records’ clarity and utility, allowing for better tracking and auditing of approval processes.

Bug Fixes and System Enhancements

We've dedicated significant resources to fixing bugs, especially those affecting approval processes and reauthentication mechanisms. These fixes are part of our commitment to providing a seamless and secure user experience, with fewer interruptions and enhanced security during your daily operations.
