Skill Structures are hierarchical folder structures used to categorise skills within job profiles or to simplify skill-based searches within catalogues. In skill searches, results can be limited to the contents of skills assigned to specific Skill Structure folders, thereby facilitating the assignment of skills to objects. Within a job profile, required skills can be categorised into folders; e.g. licences, compliance, required, recommended...

To create a skill structure, the "Create" icon is clicked to launch a new tab where a base folder can be created by entering a name and description. A skill structure needs at least two levels; the base folder is highlighted and another "In the hierarchy below the selected element" is created.
There are main skill folders (prime nodes) and skill folders. Both can be displayed in the catalogue, and advanced descriptions for both can be entered for display in the catalogue. For instance, this function allows the integration of a Welcome page for main skill folders and the provision of further settings for displaying catalogue results.
It is important to assign skills to a structure, because only then can learning content that helps close skill gaps be found by learners.

Skill Assignment
Any number of skills can be assigned to skill structure child folders, but not to the main parent folder. To do so, a list of skills assigned to the selected node is used to add or remove the skills. Skills can also be moved or copied to another node in the structure by selecting a target folder in the skill list.
