Group: The Group field can contain any 5 letters or #'s. The sample data has groups like ATC (for Air Traffic Controller), COMPU for Computer, & SAMPLE for Sample data. Some KSA's will only apply to one specific job (e.g. Air Traffic Controller). Other KSAs though in one group, can be used for lots of different jobs, e.g. Wordperfect could be classified in the COMPU group, but secretaries managers, writers, even factory workers might select this KSA for their jobs. If you are applying for a highly specialized job like Air Traffic Controller, you might be benefited by searching for all the KSAs in the group ATC. Then claim all that pertain to you. searching is field specific, so make sure you are already in the field you wish to search, before pressing or else you will get a false "not found". For example, if you are looking for a KSA that contains the string "Pilots License", but your cursor is in the 1st field on the screen (the Group) field, then your search will turn up nothing, because the string "Pilots License" does not exist in the field GROUP. But if you cursor over to the KSA field, then do the same search, you will find the first occurance of that string if it exists, in that field. Use for Ditto, to copy the Group Name above to the current Group Name. Ctrl D works on any field, not just the Group field, but since it looks at the record above to copy to the present record, that implies there must be a record above (before) this one. Only Jobs, & KSAs are multi-record files. Ditto will not work for Avail- ability, Education, Citizenship, & other single record modules. Numbers in the Group field are treated like strings of letters, i.e. the ASCII string 88888 would sort before 9 (appear above it) since your PC will look at the first char, of each string & sorts, before moving on to the next char. i.e. 88888 is not treated as 88 thousand 8 hundred & 88, it is merely treated as a string of 5 char's, the first of which is less than 9 & thus will go before (above) 9.. To batch add to KSA_L's, use the export & import menu options. take the export first to get the file layout example. Then edit the KSA_expL file, to include all the KSAs you wish bearing in mind the rules for KSA Longs, i.e. They all must start w. the 2 words " I have ", except the continued KSAs which there fore cannot start w. "I have". Continued KSAs also must be ID-Num'd in sequence.
