Use proficiency models to rate resources

Skills for resources are rated by proficiency models. The individual ratings are in a proficiency model.

1. To create a proficiency model, go to Resources > Proficiency Models, and then select New.
2. In the new rating model, specify the minimum rating value, the maximum rating value, and the entity that is being rated.
3. In the Rating Values subgrid, you can define the different rating values, from the minimum to the maximum.

These rating values are shown on the Resource Requirements, Schedule Board, and Schedule Assistant filters.
