When to Use Bulk Skill Tagging

Use Bulk Skill Tagging in these scenarios:

Best Practices for Bulk Skill Tagging

• Always use the exported template from the platform to ensure correct columns and formatting.

• Validate Skill_IDs against the latest skill framework before uploading.

• Review error reports after an upload. Correct only the failed rows and re-upload just those entries, saving time and reducing risk.

• Keep backups of both your original and corrected CSV files for audit purposes.

• Use filters in the lab profile viewer to target only the profiles that need tags.

Use Bulk Skill Tagging in Studio

1. Access Bulk Tag Skills
   Log in to Skillable Studio and navigate to Admin > Skills > Bulk Tag Skills.

   

2. Filter and export lab profiles

   1. Use filters (e.g., by organization and Has Skills: No) to select relevant lab profiles.

   2. Click Export Lab Profiles (.csv) to download the template.

      

3. Download and reference skill frameworks
   Download the relevant skill framework as a CSV to look up valid Skill_IDs.

   

4. Annotate the exported CSV
   Fill in the Skill_IDs column for each lab profile, using comma-separated values to assign multiple skills.

   

5. Upload your CSV

   1. In Studio, use the Import Tagged Lab Profile List section to click Choose Completed Lab Profile List.

   2. Upload your completed CSV file and then click Import Tagged Lab Profile List. The system validates your file and processes the updates.

      
      

   Note

   Adding skills via CSV upload is additive only. The system adds the skills listed but does not overwrite or remove existing skills for any lab profile.

6. Review validation results
   If errors occur, click Download Error Report to download the error report CSV. Only rows with issues are listed in this report.

   

7. Correct and re-upload error rows
   Fix the errors in the error report CSV and re-upload just those rows.

   Tip

   You do not need to re-upload the full CSV from step 4. Instead, upload only the corrected rows to save time and avoid reprocessing successful updates.

Summary

Bulk Skill Tagging provides a fast, reliable way to assign or update skills across many lab profiles at once. By exporting the required templates, applying valid Skill_IDs, and using the platform’s validation and error-reporting tools, you can streamline large-scale updates while reducing manual effort and minimizing errors. This feature is especially valuable for teams managing high volumes of labs or maintaining alignment with evolving curricula and skill frameworks.
