Viewing results and reports
You see the mapping's results as a quadrant on the Charts tab. As a table you get them with the Select report function, where you can also download an Excel file. The skills of the whole organisation or your own team are viewed on the Experts page and in the My team view.
For: charts for everyone with access to the mapping, reports for owners and administrators. External experts (EXT, EXT+) do not see the charts.
Charts tab: the quadrant
- The horizontal axis is interest and the vertical axis is skill.
- Each skill is a bubble. The bubble's position is the average of the mapping members' ratings.
- Only the mapping's members are included. Owners who are not members are not shown in the chart.
- Click a bubble to see the spread, meaning the position of each rater. If several people are in the same spot, a number is shown. Clicking it drills down to individual profiles.
- If a required level has been set for the skill, it is shown as a horizontal line. At a glance you see how many are above the level and how many below.
How to read the quadrant
| Position | What it tells | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Top right: strong skill, strong interest | Strengths | Use and share the expertise, for example through mentoring |
| Bottom right: low skill, strong interest | Development potential: the will to learn is there | Direct training, learning and work opportunities here. Investment here pays off best |
| Top left: strong skill, low interest | Fading expertise | If the skill is still important, find out what would make maintaining it motivating again |
| Bottom left: low skill, low interest | Blind spot | Consider other means: recruitment, partnerships or outsourced services |
Mapping report
Choose Select report in the right-hand column. Each report first shows a preview, and it can be downloaded as an Excel file.
| Report | Content |
|---|---|
| Skills | Each member's skill and interest rating per skill, and the required level |
| Members | Name, email, job title, unit, location, role (participant, owner, invited) and join date |
| Discussions | The mapping's discussions: date, author and comments |
| Task lists | The mapping's task lists, if they have been used |
These reports only cover this mapping's skills and members. Broader reports are found here:
- Managers: the My team view
- Administrators: the More information section in the right-hand column of the home page, with comprehensive reports on all skills data
- Your own systems: through Skillhive's REST API, skills data can be retrieved into your own systems and combined with, for example, business data. Ask Skillhive support about the API.
Good to know: the charts show the current state of skills. If you want to follow change over time, save the report regularly, for example a few times a year, or retrieve the data through the API and compare it.
The whole organisation's skills: the Experts page
- Open Experts.
- Search for one or more skills by keyword, or choose a ready-made area of expertise or mapping. All its skills are then included in the search.
- If needed, narrow the target group by unit, location, job title or manager. By default the search covers the whole organisation.
- Switch the view under Show: from list to chart (bubble icon).
Only mappings visible to you can be selected.
Your own team's skills (managers)
- Open My team in the left-hand menu.
- Go to the Skills tab.
- Choose an area of expertise or a mapping to see your team's skills in the same quadrant.
No search is needed, because your team is already filtered.
