What can I learn from this page? | A how to guide for populating the skills import templates |
Who is this guide for? | Performance Admin |
Overview
Culture Amp can work with Performance enabled customers (specifically Performance Administrators) who are using the Continuous Feedback feature to bulk import the skills categories and skills on your account, as well as assigning them to the relevant Departments and Job titles (if required).
Performance Administrators are able to configure the skills directly in the platform (Configure skill cards), but if you have a large amount of skills to create and assign, you can take advantage of our bulk import option. This task may take up to 3 days to complete.
How it Works
We import the skills categories and skills, as well as the assignments on your behalf via formatted CSV files that have been prepared/populated by you. To avoid possible problems with formatting, it is preferred that we receive the files in Excel / Google Sheets format prior to us converting to CSV.
Please use the templates and instructions below to populate the files prior to sending them to Culture Amp Product Support for import.
Import File Preparation
There are two different templates; one for creation of the skills categories and skills and one for the assignments (if required).
Templates can be found here:
Skills Category & Skills Import (always required)
Skills Assignment import (only required if any skills are being assigned as Job specific)
Skills Category & Skills Import - Column headers in file (description of values in parentheses below):
job type- indicates how the skills will be assigned. Options available are:Core (will be assigned to everyone)
Manager Only (will be assigned to managers only),
Job specific (neither of the above and will not appear for anyone until Departments / Job titles are assigned)
