A rating scale is a scale that can be used in skills management to define the skill level of an employee for a specific skill/qualification.
The purpose is to have an accurate understanding of someone's skill level/qualification level.
In AG5 you are able to create multiple rating scales. But, you can only use one rating scale per skill (also known as qualification). So it is important to define what rating scale you want to use for your skill.
The important attributes of a rating scale level are:
Name: This is the name of the level/
Level description: Here you can describe the meaning of the level.
Code: Here you can use a unique code for this level.
The level descriptions can be made visible while adding results.
You can create/define a new rating scale on the rating scale page. For this, you go to Organization > Rating scales. See the below video on how to create a new rating scale.
Each skill has a certain rating scale. And this rating scale can be used for different skills. But, the meaning of each rating scale level can be different per skill. And to make sure every user has the same understanding of what exactly each level means you can describe each level within the skill detail page.
Read in this article all about defining skill-specific level descriptions.
