Option	Description
Skills	Checkbox. If checked, the Skills process is active and can be enabled for WX users. Clear the checkbox to disable skills and hide the skills search menu item in WX.
Skills Repeat	Number. The number of months between skills being reviewed. The manager is prompted to review after this time.
Manager Confirms Skills	Checkbox. If checked, skills entered or amended by the team member must be confirmed. Confirmation can be by the Team Member's manager, by a qualified assessor, or by the Team Member; set the level using Approver Type for each Skill Library Item. If Manager Confirms Skills is checked and Approver Type on the Skill Library Item is set to None, confirmation defaults to the Team Member's Manager for that Skill. If Manager Confirms Skills is checked you can require the confirming individual to authenticate their identity: check Authenticate Skill Approval. If unchecked, new or amended skills are not subject to confirmation or authentication, regardless of the Approver Type setting on individual Skill Library Items and the Authenticate Skill Approval setting.
Authenticate Skill Approval	Checkbox. Not currently supported.
