Temporary Work Skills

Determine the skills required to perform an activity and the skills of the mobile workers. Based on these mobile worker skills activities are assigned to perform.

You can use this feature to set up a date range during which a skill is considered actual. These settings are part of the work skill settings of a resource and define the period during which the resource is considered having a certain skill of a certain level. This feature is helpful when some skills require periodic certification, some equipment is available for limited time only and if a planned maintenance is scheduled which requires special skills.

If no work skills have been explicitly assigned to a resource, the resource is assumed to permanently have all work skills configured in the system with the maximum ratio. If any work skills have been assigned, the resource has only those work skills with the specified ratios.
