   • Add level after

   • Delete level

Adding, editing, deleting, or reordering behaviours

Each level includes a list of behavioural indicators. These are objective and observable examples of what the proficiency level looks like in a real-world environment.

1. Click Libraries in the top nav.

2. Find the competency you want to edit.

3. Click the competency name in the table.

4. Click Actions and select Edit.

   • Add: Click the plus icon to add a new behavioural indicator.

   • Edit: Click an existing behavioural indicator and begin typing.

   • Delete: Point to a behavioural indicator, click the 3-dot icon, and select Delete.

   • Reorder: Click the grey header and drag to reorder or move to a different level.

5. Click Actions and select Publish.

6. Click the pending updates icon to apply the change to published jobs.

When writing behavioural indicators, we recommend:

• Beginning with a verb.

• Writing one concise sentence for each behaviour.

• Including three to six behaviours per level.

Managing translations

When you’re editing a competency, click Actions and select Show untranslated items if you have more than one language in Quinto. This displays an icon on each piece of text that hasn’t yet been translated so you can easily see what’s left to complete.
