Purpose: This document provides step-by-step instructions for creating a new tool or technology to add to a Job Profile in Calibrate. When you create a skill in Calibrate, it's referred to as an Account skill because it is available account wide.
Audience: This document is meant to be used by Job Profile Editors and Job Profile Reviewers who want to add a tool or technology to a Job Profile that is not already in the Calibrate Library.
Before you begin: Tools are generally comprised of machines and equipment whereas technology often includes information technology such as software.
