Create and Manage Job Profile Assignment Type Custom Attributes

Job profile assignment custom attributes provide you with the ability to capture job profile assignment information that is custom to your organization and to filter LMS data based on the attribute. These are custom attributes that are applied at the assignment type level, further describing the competency.  These attributes will apply to all users with the competency. These are applied at the assignment type level,  further describing the assignment type for a given user's job profile.  The attributes apply to the assignment type added for one user and one job profile.

To create and manage competency custom attributes, your role must have unrestricted access to the Job Profile Assignment Type Attributes permission (System Roles > Manage Features > Competency Manager Features)
