Import Skill Types and Skills

You can import skill categories and skills from Talent Management to Maconomy.

You must trigger each action to create background tasks and initiate synchronization. Skill types are required by skills. Skill types must be imported first from Talent Management before importing skills.

To import skill types and skills:

1. Go to Setup > Talent Management Setup > Administration.
2. Activate each of the following actions to initiate synchronization:

   • Import Skill Types from Talent Management: Use this action to import skill types from Talent Management to Maconomy, and create a background task to add, update, or select a skill type as deleted when removed from Talent Management.

   • Import Skills from Talent Management: Use this action to import skills from DTM, and create a background task to add, update, or remove skills in Maconomy. You must use this action only after skill types have been imported from DTM.

     Note: Handling Skills in Maconomy

     Talent Management is the master of skills data and any skills information imported to Maconomy. The integration overwrites any changes directly made in Maconomy.

     • You cannot create, update, nor delete skills for employees linked to Talent Management.

     • You cannot update or delete skills (in Setup) imported from Talent Management.

     A user gets a notification when trying to change or delete a skill type linked to Talent Management skill categories.

     Skills and employees that are not linked to Talent Management can be amended in Maconomy.
