Quick Summary: The People page gives managers a complete, filterable roster of their team — including direct reports and broader org hierarchy — with quick access to each person’s profile, training record, certifications, and more.

Overview

The People page is your central team directory in SkillsDB. It displays everyone in your reporting structure in a single, scrollable table so you can quickly find team members, review their organizational details, and navigate to their individual profiles. The page lets you narrow the roster to your direct reports or full organizational span of control, or leave the scope unfiltered to see all people you can access. This makes it useful whether you manage a small team or oversee a larger multi-level organization. The People page is only visible to users with a manager role or above. From here you can navigate to dedicated Team pages for skills analysis, training records, assessments, and certification tracking.

Navigating to Your Team

Select Team from the left sidebar to expand the Team section, then select People. The page opens displaying your team roster.
Note: The Team section only appears in the sidebar if you have a manager role. If you do not see it, contact your SkillsDB administrator to confirm your role assignment.

Switching Between Views

Scope lenses at the top of the page control which people are included in the table: Select any combination of the available chips. Selected chips stay highlighted; select a chip again to turn it off. With no chips selected, the page shows all data your permissions allow. My Org already includes direct reports, so selecting those two shows the same people as My Org without duplicates. There is no separate All chip. Recently added stays visible when you select another scope, including when there are no recent matches. If you select My Org and Recently added, then the table includes people in either group, without duplicates. Existing advanced filters narrow the combined result. Changing a chip preserves your other selections, and reloading the page preserves the selected chips. Selecting Recently added displays an Added after [date] filter. Edit its date or operator to change the date condition for that group; everyone in a selected reporting scope remains included. Removing the Added filter or turning off Recently added removes that date condition and keeps the reporting scopes selected. Without Recently added, an Added filter applies to the whole selected scope.
Tip: Use Direct Reports for day-to-day team management. Use My Org when you need to see the full depth of your organization — for example, when reviewing skills coverage across multiple reporting levels.

Understanding the Team Table

The team table displays one row per person. The following columns are available: The Name, User ID, Careers, and Manager columns are pinned to the left and remain visible as you scroll horizontally through the organizational columns.

Filtering Your Team

Use filters to narrow the table to a specific subset of your team.

Using scope lenses

Use the scope chips to choose which groups of people to include. Turn every selected chip off to restore the unfiltered scope. Other active filters still apply.

Using advanced filters

For more granular filtering, open the filter builder panel:
  1. Select the filter icon in the search/filter bar.
  2. The filter builder opens with the following available filters:
  1. Select a filter, then choose one or more values from the dropdown.
  2. Add additional filters as needed. The table updates in real time as filters are applied.
  3. To clear all filters, select Reset Filters.
When active filters are applied, a badge indicator appears in the filter bar showing that filters are in use.

Customizing Columns

You can show or hide columns to tailor the table to your needs.
  1. Select Display in the top right of the page.
  2. The column chooser panel lists all available columns.
  3. Toggle any column on or off.
  4. Close the panel. SkillsDB saves your column preferences for your current session.
Note: Column preferences are saved for your browser session. They reset when you clear your browser storage or use a different browser.

Saving a Custom View

After applying filters and customizing columns, you can save your current view configuration for quick access.
  1. Select Save View in the top right of the page.
  2. Enter a name for the view.
  3. Select Save.
Saved views preserve your filter selections, column visibility, and sort order. You can switch between saved views from the breadcrumb dropdown at the top of the page.

Viewing a Team Member’s Profile

Select any row in the table to open that person’s full profile page. The profile shows their skills assessment history, assigned careers, certifications, learning plan, and more. You can also select the Name or Manager cell directly — both are clickable and navigate to the respective person’s profile. To return to the team roster after viewing a profile, use your browser’s back button or select People from the Team sidebar section.

Accessing Training and Document Records

Several table columns provide quick access to records without leaving the team roster:
  • Training Record — Select the cell to open a training details view showing the person’s current and past learning plans.
  • Resume — Select the cell to view or download the person’s resume documents on file.
  • Certifications — Select the cell to view certification documents associated with this person.
These in-table shortcuts are useful for quick reference. For a full analysis of training or certification data across your team, use the dedicated Team > Training and Team > Certifications pages.

Exporting Your Team List

You can export the current table view to an Excel file.
  1. Select Export in the top right of the page.
  2. SkillsDB downloads a file named People_[date-time].xlsx.
  3. The export includes all rows currently visible in the table, using your active filters and column selections.
Tip: Apply filters before exporting to create targeted extracts — for example, export only your direct reports in a specific department by combining the Direct Reports scope lens with a Department filter.

Common Questions

Direct Reports shows only the people who report to you immediately — one level down in the hierarchy. My Org shows your full span of control, meaning everyone who rolls up to you across all reporting levels. If you are a first-level manager, the two views may be identical. If you manage other managers, My Org includes their reports as well.
My Org includes your direct reports as well as indirect reports. Selecting both chips keeps everyone in My Org visible and does not duplicate people.
The People page does not display skill data directly. To analyze your team’s skills, select Skills from the Team sidebar section. To see an individual’s skills, select their row in the table to open their profile, where their full skills assessment is available.
Select Add Person in the top right to add a new person to SkillsDB. Depending on your organization’s settings, this option may be restricted to administrators. If you do not see the Add Person button, contact your administrator to add team members.
The Team section only appears for users with a manager role. If you manage people in your organization but do not see the Team section, your SkillsDB role may not reflect your management responsibilities. Contact your SkillsDB administrator to request the appropriate role.
Inactive (shown with a red indicator) means the person’s SkillsDB account has been deactivated. Inactive users no longer have access to SkillsDB but their historical data — skills, certifications, training records — is preserved. By default, the table shows both active and inactive people. Use the Status filter to show only active team members if needed.
