Skills

A Skill represents a capability to be captured and trained on: what a person is qualified to do. Captures, tracked objects, and generated outputs flow through it, and its step-by-step content lives on the procedures filed under it. Skills and guidebooks are the two rollups of the same procedures: a skill is the person-side view, a guidebook the object-side view of one physical asset.

​

Creating a skill

1. Go to Skills in the dashboard
2. Click New skill
3. Enter a title and save. The skill is created and ready to configure.

From the skill detail page you can set priority, assignees, a deadline, and tags using the metadata row near the top.

​

Description

Description provides context for why this skill exists and what it covers. Use this to describe the equipment or environment, the work being captured, and any background a reviewer needs to understand the captures. Rich text formatting is supported. Step-by-step instructions are no longer written on the skill itself; they live on the skill’s procedures, which own the how-to prose and the step sequence.

​

Procedures

The Procedures section lists the canonical step sequences filed under this skill, each with its step count and the captures that corroborate it. New procedure offers two starting points: From a capture, which seeds the steps from a capture’s extracted sequence, or Write it by hand, for authoring before anything is recorded. See Procedures for authoring, capture reconciliation, and the publish lifecycle.

​

References

The References panel on the right side of the skill page lets you attach supporting materials (3D scans, documents, or images) that provide additional context for the operator or reviewer. Reference objects are not tracked during capture; they’re documentation attached to the skill record.

​

Linked objects

Go to the Objects tab on a skill to attach the 3D reference objects that should be tracked during capture sessions. See Objects for how to upload and manage the library, and Object tracking for how to enable AR tracking.

​

Assignees and tags

Use the Assignees field to assign team members who will record captures against this skill. Assigned members see the skill listed in Holos Capture when starting a new session. Tags are free-form labels for filtering and organization across the skills list.

​

Captures

The Captures section at the bottom of the skill page shows all sessions linked to this skill. Each capture can be reviewed and marked:

• Approved: accepted as a valid take for this skill
• Approval needed: uploaded but not yet reviewed

Click the external link icon next to a capture to open it in the full 3D viewer. Use + Link existing capture to manually attach a capture that was recorded without a skill assigned. Approval status is per skill; the same capture can be approved under one skill and pending under another.

​

Generating outputs

The Generate Outputs panel on the right lets you produce training assets from the approved captures linked to this skill: Click an output type to generate. Outputs are produced from the approved captures and the skill’s description and instructions.
