Managing Teams
Before planning tests, appropriate teams must be set up and roles and responsibilities assigned.
You must previously define:
• skill types
• skills list
• skill levels
Tools are available that enable definition and display of the skills of team members.
Creating Controllers
To create a controller, you must create a person and associate the "Control Tester" profile.
For more information on creation of users and assignment of profiles, see the chapter "Managing Users" in the HOPEX Power Supervisor guide.Creating skill types
To create a skill type:
1. In the HOPEX IRM desktop, select Administration > Skill Management > All Skill Types.
2. Click New.
3. Enter a Name for the skill type, for example "Languages".
4. Click OK.
Creating skills
To create a skill:
1. In the HOPEX IRM desktop, select Administration > Skill Management > All Skills.

4. Click OK.
The new skill is added to the list of skills.
In properties of the skill you can indicate the Skill Type to which it is attached, for example "Languages".
Creating skill levels
You must now create skill levels to be associated with each skill type.
To create a skill level:
1. In the HOPEX IRM desktop, select Administration > Skill Management > All Skill Types.

This figure gives a graphic view of the extent of controller skills in the test assignment page. Defining skills for each user
To define the skills of a user:
1. In the Administration navigation pane, select Skill Management > View Users With Skills.
