Select
Team managementin the main navigation on the left side. This option is visible only if you are a manager of at least one team.In the Team members section, you can see all members of the teams you manage. Click on the user’s name or profile picture to open their profile.

Click on a skill profile to open its rating view in a full-screen dialog. The header shows the profile name and the full profile description, or No description available if no profile description has been provided.
Understanding the skill profile rating view for managers
Depending on the assessment areas enabled, the skill profile rating view for managers displays one or two rating trees alongside a description panel:
Self-rating: Displays the skills and chapters of the skill profile in a skill tree format, showing the employee's self-assessment on a scale from 1 to 5.
Manager's review: Allows the manager to provide their assessment of the employee's skill level, also on the same scale from 1 to 5.
When both rating trees are visible, the self-rating is on the left, Manager's review is beside it, and the description panel is on the right. When you review a team member's profile as their team manager, the manager rating is highlighted and the self-rating is dimmed.
Each visible rating tree displays a match score, indicating the percentage of skill requirements the user has fulfilled according to that rating. Learn more about the score here.
After loading, the first selectable skill or chapter is automatically selected and highlighted. Click on another skill or chapter to update the selection in the visible rating trees and the description panel. The panel shows the selected entry's title and formatted description; Skill description is used as a fallback heading if no title is available.
No description available means that the selected entry has no description. If the profile contains entries but none can be selected automatically, the panel shows Select a skill to learn more about it. If you see Skill profile is empty, contact the administrator responsible for the skill profile.
If the profile contains priority skills, click Show priority skills in the header to limit the rating trees to those skills. Click it again to remove the filter. Click Close review to close the dialog.

Aware: I have heard of this skill before and know what it means.
Beginner: I have started to learn about this skill and have gained some knowledge already.
Intermediate: I have a solid knowledge base regarding this skill.
Advanced: I feel confident about this skill, and have mastered even advanced aspects of it.
Expert: I have very high expertise in this skill, it’s hard to tell me something new about it.
