You would like to use Skills Cloud as the primary source for skill searches. What task would you access to meet this requirement?

The Maintain Skills and Experience Setup task is the central administrative task for configuring the overall behavior of skills and experience features within a Workday tenant. This includes enabling Workday Skills Cloud and, crucially, setting it as the primary source for typeahead searches. By configuring this setting, administrators ensure that when users search for skills, the comprehensive and standardized Skills Cloud catalog is prioritized over the tenant's manually created skill catalog, promoting consistency and relevance.

B. Maintain Skill Item Categories: This task is used for creating and managing the classification groups for skills (e.g., Technical, Leadership), not for configuring the source of the skills themselves.

C. Maintain Skill Vendors: This task is for managing third-party providers of skill data or assessments, which is distinct from configuring Workday's native Skills Cloud feature.

D. Maintain Skills: This task is used for the manual creation, editing, and management of individual skill items within the tenant's custom skill catalog, not for tenant-level source configuration.
