Field Description
Skill ID

A skill ID is an alphanumeric code unique to the skill and cannot exceed 10 characters.

Open Plan does not distinguish between upper and lower case characters in an ID and will flag skill "VBasic" as a duplicate of skill "vbasic."

IDs containing the following four symbols " , | ; are used as delimiters in Open Plan and may cause problems when importing or exporting data.

Description

A description can contain up to 60 characters. You may use both upper and lower case characters.

Unit Cost

A base cost for the skill. Typically, this is the average cost of all the resources that possess the skill.

By defining costs for skills, you can calculate resource budgets in cases where you request a skill rather than an individual resource for an activity.
