Skills

Image Modified

In order to assign a resource to a skill, the App admin need to define the skills first in the App's administration. Each skill has a start date (required field) and end date. Resources can be assigned to multiple skills at the same time.

The order of the listed Skills is sorted by the end date, then by the start date (oldest "end date" skills at the bottom, newest at the top. If the end date is the same, oldest "start date" at the bottom, newest start date at the top).

Once assigned, the new skill will be visible in the Resources module when the Skill panel is enabled.

Absences

The list of user absences is visible on their Individuals page.
Image Modified

Individual absences can be:

• added by the App Admin or App Resource Admin on the Resources page.
• added by users on their "My Profile page". Once an Absence is added by a user, it automatically appears on the Resources page in Administration.

Absence days are automatically greyed out on the timeline as non-working days and reduce resource capacity. The App will prevent you from scheduling a task on a non-working day. 

There are five types of absences available:

• Holiday
• Leave at request
• Maternity leave
• Sick leave
• Other reason

Absences are sorted based on their start date (chronological): the newest items are at the top and the oldest items are on the bottom (regardless of the order in which items were created).
