Skill categories group related job skills, for example Software, Trades or Languages, so a long skills list stays manageable. They're an organising tool for you: job seekers don't see them.
How to get there
Open Careerly → Lookup Tables → Skill categories.
Add or edit a skill category
- Click New Category, or the pencil button on an existing one.
- Type the Name (required, up to 50 characters) and, if you like, a Description (up to 500 characters).
- Click Save.
Put skills into a category
Open Job Skills, edit a skill and choose its Skill category. The skills list then shows the category next to each skill.
Deleting
A skill category that is still assigned to any skill can't be deleted. Move those skills to another category (or to none) first. Deleting is permanent.
