Creating a competency class

Competency Definition Unit	Select the organization unit in which you must create and define competency classes. Tell me more
Competency Class Code	A unique code to identify the competency class.
Competency Class Short Description	A short description of the competency class. For short description, you can specify an abbreviation for the competency class description, a short form of it or the full description itself. For example, if the description is “Behavioral Traits”, you can specify the short description in an abbreviated form as “BT” or enter a short form for the description as “Beh. Trts” or “Behvl Traits” etc., or write the full description itself.
Competency Class Long Description	A more elaborate description of the competency class. For example, if the competency class is “Behavioral Traits” for which you have already specified the short description as “Behvl Traits”, you can specify the long description as “Behavioral Traits with respect to Quality Management” or “Behavioral Traits with respect to employee motivation” etc., to make the description more clear.
