| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| resourceId* | The key of the resource, identifying the resource throughout the configuration. This attribute can be abandoned in an XML upload since the parent node already represents the Resource. |
| name* | The name of the skill. |
| skillLevel | The level of the skill for this resource. The specified value indicates either the level of knowledge, i.e. 3.0 for experts, 1.0 for trainees, or it represents a factor that is multiplied with the estimated duration of a task once it is assigned to a resource with this skill |
Note that during upload, a Resource element must be embedded into a Territory element. Skill elements must be embedded into the Resource element. It is expected that with each update of a Resource or Skill, the ERP system posts the entire skill set along with the Resource data. To ensure consistent behavior, the skillsAsVector preference must be configured to true.
