How Jewellery Design & CAD works in SkillScorer
Score
Each team member in a workshop is scored on the Jewellery Design & CAD skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank team members, compare two side by side, or compare your workshops against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Jewellery Design & CAD skills need attention. Reports also follow each head jeweller's workshop.
