How to set up the Skills field

Enable the Skills field — a curated OneDirectory® Dataset of ~37,000 skills — add custom options, and show it as a sidebar filter.

Written by Greg Bennett

The Skills field lets employees showcase their skills. It’s powered by a curated OneDirectory® Dataset rather than synced from Microsoft 365, and you set it up in Fields.


Open the Skills field

  1. In the OneDirectory sidebar (your live employee directory), click Directory Console at the bottom.

  2. In the Directory Console sidebar, select Fields, then click the Skills field.


Configure Skills

  • Turn on Use Skills Dataset to enable selections from a curated list of around 37,000 skills.

  • Add custom options under Additional Skills — type and use a comma or press Enter to add; double-click an option to edit.

  • Turn on Show in Sidebar to make Skills a smart filter in the OneDirectory sidebar.

Note: Skills is a OneDirectory Dataset field, so it isn’t synced from Microsoft 365 — it’s managed in OneDirectory.
