Introduction

In a modern HR setup, effectively tracking and managing employee skills plays a crucial role in workforce development and strategic planning.

Whether you are creating skill maps for learning and development or matching the right talent to the right project, having a well-maintained skill database is essential.

uKnowva HRMS provides a straightforward and efficient way to manage this through its Skills Master module.

In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to add a new skill to the system, making it easier to maintain an up-to-date skill inventory that aligns with your organisational needs.

Step 1: Navigate to the Skill Master Page

To start, you need to access the Skill Master interface.

To know how to access the Skill page, follow this tutorial.

This will open the Skill Master page, where all existing skills are listed in a tabular format. You will find the entries displayed under the headers: Skill Name, Action, Category, and Published.

This page gives you an overview of all current skills defined in the system.

Step 2: Open the Skill Addition Form

To create a new skill entry, look towards the top-right corner of the Skill Master page and click the + Add button.

A pop-up window will appear titled Add Skill, allowing you to input all necessary information related to the new skill.

This form is designed to ensure that each skill entry is categorised and defined accurately, which will be helpful for future filtering and analytics.

Step 3: Enter Skill Details

In the skill addition form, begin by entering the Skill Name, which should be a clear and specific identifier for the skill.

Follow this by filling in the Skill Description, which can provide context or examples for how this skill is typically applied in your organisation.

Next, choose the appropriate Category and Type from the drop-down menus provided.

These selections help classify the skill correctly within the overall skills framework of your HRMS.

At the bottom of the form, there’s a Published toggle. If you want the skill to be immediately active and available for selection in user profiles or evaluations, set this option to “Yes.”

Step 4: Save or Cancel the Skill Entry

After reviewing all the information you’ve entered, click the Save button to officially add the skill to your uKnowva HRMS.

If at any point you decide not to proceed, you can click the Cancel button to discard the entry and close the form without saving.

Once saved, the new skill will appear in the skill list and will be available for use in relevant modules, such as performance management or training recommendations.

Conclusion

That’s it!

You’ve now successfully added a new skill in uKnowva HRMS.

By following this process, you ensure that your organisation’s skill database remains updated, clearly classified, and aligned with evolving workforce capabilities.

This structured approach simplifies talent profiling, training initiatives, and performance evaluations, all while supporting better workforce planning.
