# How To: Find the SAP identifier for a skill

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the Attributes Library">
    Search for `Manage Talent Intelligence Hub`, and navigate to the Attributes tab.
    This is the default starting tab when navigating to the Talent Intelligence Hub management view.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the skill">
    In the list of attributes, find the desired skill.

    This can be made easier by using the filters at the top of the page:

    * The `Search` field can be used to search for a skill by name.
    * The `Attribute Type` filter can be used to only show skills (`Skill`).
    * The `Status` filter can be used to only show active attributes (`Active`).

    After configuring the filters, click on `Go` to apply them.

    <Note>
      When selecting an arbitrary skill attribute for testing, ensure it is indeed a skill (`Attribute Type` is `Skill`) and it is active (`Status` is `Active`).
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the relevant identifier for the skill">
    Attributes in SAP SuccessFactors can be uniquely identified in three separate ways: their Name, their External Code, and their ID.
    Different situations will require the use of different identifiers:

    * For the Employee Skill Sync, the External Code is used.
    * For the Job Skill Sync, the ID is used (this ID is also referred to as the `WSM ID`).
    * For the Skills Taxonomy Sync, all three identifiers are used, with the Name being used as the primary identifier.
