Using libraries

Sage People uses libraries to store reusable records, with each library dedicated to one type of content:

  • The Job Library stores groups of data fields that are set when a Team Member is assigned to a job.

  • The Job Profile Library stores the lists of skills and competencies required for each job type. Job profiles are typically used for competency assessments, career planning, and succession planning.

  • The Job Descriptions Library stores text descriptions of jobs. These are used to pre-fill job descriptions set by managers and team members.

  • The Scales Library stores rating scales for skills, competencies, and metrics.

  • The Skills Library stores skills with links to the scales used to measure them, to the job profiles that identify them as job needs, and to the Team Members who have had the skills identified as development needs.

  • The Competency Library stores competencies for assessments and development needs.

  • The Metrics Library stores items that are measured for a Metrics Review. Items are numbers, scales, or text.

  • The Training Library stores lists of training options, with each one linked to the skills and competencies it develops. Training options are suggested when entering a development need for skills and competencies.

  • The Performance Review Templates library stores the templates used to create multiple, reusable varieties of Performance Review. Template driven reviews can be used in parallel with legacy, non-template reviews.

  • The Constraint Library stores the conditional controls - constraints - that can be applied to Performance Review Templates.

  • The Work Location Library stores the details associated with defined locations associated with your organization, for example, country, address, a work location manager, an action role.
