Tech Skills

Tech skills entities form.

Tech skills document the talents a resource has that are required by your organization. It is one of the standard Resource Profile elements provided by OpenAir. The tech skills link only displays in Resources Settings if you have activated this as a Resource profile option. See Resource Profile.

You can define tech skills at a very broad level, using terms such as Database or Functional, or you can use specific skills such as SQL Server database or Oracle EBS 11i. One or more skills may be assigned to an employee resource depending on the Resource Profile configuration. You use tech skills when you search for appropriate and available employees to assign to a project. Skills also provide reporting capability in OpenAir.

To create Tech skills:

  1. Go to Administration > Application Settings > Resources > Tech skills.

  2. Select New Tech skill from the Create Button.

  3. Type the Name of the Tech skill.

  4. Add Description, if desired.

  5. Select the check box for Active Tech skill.

  6. Click Save.

Note:

Tech skill profiles may be disabled for your account. If you would like Tech skills to be available in, or removed from Administration > Application Settings > Resources > Industries, contact OpenAir Customer Support.
