Description |

% Match |
This column indicates how closely each result matches the selected criteria. Costpoint calculates the % Match for a resource type depending on the search criteria you select and if the criteria have the multi-select function. For criteria that do not have multi-select or have multi-select with an OR logic operator, 100% is divided by the number of search criteria you select. If the resource matches a criterion, that criterion gets the whole portion from the divided percentage. For example, you select the resource type Employee. In the Resource Search Criteria group box, you select an option on the ITAR Required (no multi-select) drop-down list and select multiple options on the Manager (multi-select, OR) drop-down list. 50% is allotted for each criterion. If the resource matches the ITAR authorization you selected, it gets the whole 50% allotted for the ITAR Required criterion. If the resource matches at least one option you selected on the Manager drop-down list, it also gets the whole 50% allotted for the Manager criterion, making the resource a 100% match. For search criteria that have the multi-select function with an AND logic operator, each option you select is added to the divisor by which 100% is divided. The criterion itself is not included in the divisor. For example, you select the resource type Employee. In the Resource Search Criteria group box, you select an option on the ITAR Required (no multi-select) drop-down list and select three skill codes on the Skills (multi-select, AND) drop-down list. 100% must be divided between one criterion without multi-select and the three skill codes, making the divisor ‘4’. 25% is allotted for the ITAR Required criterion, and each skill code you selected also gets 25%. If the resource matches the ITAR authorization and only one of the skill codes, it becomes a 50% match. |
