Skill Matching is broken into three sections:

    1. click Add New 
    2. enter the Compliance that you require
    3. add in the number of days you would like to be reminded of a compliance's renewal
    4. tick the Critical or Show to Customer boxes if necessary
    5. hit Save to apply the changes
