# Level descriptions
### 1. What is a level description?
A textual description of what each level means.\
(levels that are set as achieved result or minimum requirement)
### 2. What is the purpose of a level description?
To make sure every user has the same understanding of what exactly each level means.\
In the picture below, you can see the level descriptions that are specifically defined for the Skill (also known as a qualification) "Drilling".
This is especially important when different users can create new skill results (e.g. when you have many trainers or are using self-assessments). They need to have the same understanding of what each level means.
### 3. How to create level descriptions?
You can define general level descriptions within a rating scale, or specifically within a skill. And these level descriptions can be made visible while adding skill results.
Read in [this article](/skills/rating-scales.md) how you can define general level descriptions within a rating scale.
