Muchskills 4.4 - A smarter skills database, more reports, improved certification management

We are super excited to bring you MuchSkills 4.4, featuring new reports, upgrades, and numerous fixes. We're especially thrilled about our major database upgrade, a year-long project that will continue to enhance reporting capabilities in the coming months.

A smarter skills database

Our upgraded skills database, now with over 60,000 AI-enhanced skills and cross-referencing, offers significant improvements:

• Unified skill management: Administrators can use the same skill in multiple lists, making it easier for employees to select relevant skills. For example, "Problem Solving" can appear across several lists.
• Automatic skill updates: Edits to skills in one list are reflected in all lists. If an employee updates "Problem Solving," it updates everywhere.
• Technical skills integration: Employees can choose from over 10,000 technical skills in the Tech Skills category. Administrators can add technical skills to any list, such as programming languages, AWS tools, and software to make it even easier for employees to find technical skills important to the organisation.
  With this updated skills database, we're planning future updates to provide next-generation skills intelligence.

Validated skills 2.0‍

New Capabilities:

• Validated Skills and Badges Reports: Access via Team/ORG - Overview, toggle between User Added and Manager Validated skills.
