3. Scope

Part of the talent manual — see also 1. Introduction, 2. What's New, 4. Setup, 5.1 Training Courses, 5.2 Training Certifications, 5.3 Skills, 6. Troubleshooting.
Reference only — see 4. Setup for how to configure each of these.
3.1 Definitions
Skillset — a baseline: for each skill it lists, it sets the target score (0–5) a group
is expected to reach, and whether that skill is a core requirement. A Skillset applies
to one or more GLPI Groups, never to individual users, so everyone in that group is
measured against the same expectations.
Core skill — a skill marked as a hard requirement on a Skillset, as opposed to one
that's merely tracked. The distinction is informational (it doesn't block an evaluation),
intended to help a manager tell "must reach this score" apart from "nice to have" at a
glance.
Effectiveness (result) — a separate judgment from whether someone attended a
training: it records whether the training actually changed on-the-job behavior, as
Effective, Partially effective, or Not effective, backed by a piece of evidence (a
GLPI ticket) rather than inferred automatically from attendance.
Job Fit — a single percentage summarizing how close a person's current skill scores
are to their group's Skillset targets, capped per skill so an excess on one skill can
never compensate for a shortfall on another.
3.2 Assets, management & administration items
Courses, Editions, Enrollments, Certifications, User Certifications, Effectiveness
evaluations, Skills, Skill Categories, Skillsets, Evaluations — new itemtypes under
Management > Talent.
Tickets — a ticket can be linked to a Course, Edition or Certification (the linked
item's own Tickets tab shows the connection), and an Effectiveness evaluation always
links to one as its supporting evidence.
Core Users — a user's own record gains Enrollments and Certifications tabs
listing their training history, and a Skills tab showing their radar charts and
evaluation history (visible to the user themselves, to anyone managing their group, or to
an evaluator with full access).
Core Groups — a Skillset applies to one or more Groups; a user's applicable skills and
targets come from the Skillset(s) linked to the groups they belong to.
Documents — a User Certification can carry an attached file (e.g. a scanned
certificate), stored under the document category configured in Setup.
Native GLPI Dashboard — Talent installs its own "Team dashboard" (under Management >
Talent > Team dashboard), alongside GLPI's own Assets/Helpdesk dashboards, with two radar
charts and five KPI cards. Sharing it with other profiles uses GLPI's own dashboard-sharing
icon, not a Talent-specific right.
3.3 Automatic actions
None.
See 4.2 Configuration.
3.4 Notifications
None.
3.5 Rules
None.
3.6 Permissions
Rights are granted per profile on Setup > Profiles > (a profile) > Talent, one row per
itemtype — Courses, Editions, Enrollments, Certifications, User Certifications, Skills,
Skillsets — each with the standard Read / Update / Create / Delete / Purge rights. A profile
only sees the Talent menu, and only the itemtypes it has at least Read on.
Evaluations and Effectiveness evaluations carry one extra option beyond the standard rights:
a profile holding it can create and view evaluations/effectiveness results for any user,
not just the members of a group they manage. Without it, an evaluator can still evaluate —
just only people in a group GLPI already lists them as managing.
See 4.3 Permissions.
