Skills Management Pages with Databases

Bernd Raesig

I am evaluating confluence databases for a simple skills management system.

We would like to store and manage a set of skills with some details and then have maybe another database where we join people with one or more skills and their level of knowledge.

Usecases:

• there is a a skill profile for every user based on the skills database and the atlassian username, skill profile is available to all users and searchable by database fields
• a manager would be able to serach for a skill or a set of skills and gets results
• many more

 

For now I struggle a bit to join multiple skills inlding a skill-level with one person and report it nicely.

 

Has anyone here done similar things with confluence databases? Any advice is very welcome!

I would create one entry per skill per person and add a level field, with the skills in a separate, linked database. Single select, not multi.

- you can group per person > provides an overview of skills per person

- you can group per skill, and sort per level > provides you persons with that skill, to be sorted per level

- you can filter for skill sets (a profile) (define views)
