Items Management Dashboard - Skills/Competency

All Skills/Competencies have the ability to be flagged as expiring/expired via the Items dashboard. They all have a number of warning days and staff will be alerted when new items are added to their record. There is also the ability to mark items so expiry is ignored (if a job role changes for which that specific item is no longer required). By selecting this option, the item will not flag for that staff member in the dashboard.

Go to Dashboards to select Options within the Items Management dashboard, and view.
