Skill Requirements Island

Field	Description
Skill No.	In this field, you can enter the number of a skill. The search results will only include employees who possess the level specified in the field “Level” for this skill. You can insert the skill number on any free line, and the information will automatically be moved to the next free line in the island. If you delete a skill number in this field, the entire line will be deleted, and any lines following it will be moved up.
Name	This field shows the name of the skill specified in the field “Skill No.” above.
Level	In this field, you can enter the required level for this skill. The search results will only include information on employees who possess the specified level of the skill.
Description	This field shows a description of the specified level.
Requirement Type	In this field, you can specify to what degree employees should possess the skill level specified to be included in the search results. You can choose among the following options: Mandatory — If you select this value, only employees possessing the skill at the specified level or higher will be included in the search results. Preferred — This value means that employees possessing the skill at the specified level or higher are preferred to employees who do not, but that all employees are included in the search results if they match the other search criteria specified. Note that this value has the same meaning as the option “Mandatory” if the field “Skill Deviation Acceptance” is set to “None.” Undesired — This option means that employees who either do not possess the specified skill at all or possess the skill at a level below the specified level are preferred to employees who do, but that all employees are included in the search results if they match the other search criteria specified. Note that this value has the same meaning as the option “Disallowed” if the field “Skill Deviation Acceptance” is set to “None.” Disallowed — If you select this value, only employees who do not possess the skill at the specified level or higher will be included in the search results. This means that only employees who either do not possess the specified skill at all or possess the skill at a level below the one specified for the skill will be included in the search results.
Skill Deviation Acceptance	In this field, you can specify which strategy to apply when Maconomy considers skill requirements as one of the search criteria determining which employees should be shown in the search results. Employees will be considered matching the skill requirements, and thereby be shown, if they match the search criteria specified in this window and match the skill requirements according to the value in this field. The option “Moderate” is the default value of the field, but you can select among the following options: None — If you select this option, Maconomy will only show employees who meet all of the specified skill requirements when performing searches. Moderate — This option means that Maconomy will show employees who meet all of the specified skill requirements or employees who do not meet the requirements of the type “Preferred” and “Undesired” when performing searches. High — If you select this option, Maconomy will show all employees, disregarding whether or not they meet the specified skill requirements, when performing searches. By selecting a strategy in this field, you can have Maconomy also include employees who do not meet skill requirements in the search. In this case, an employee only possessing a mandatory skill will be taken into account in the search, and the user will be informed that the skill requirements have not been met. See also the field “Skill Deviation Acceptance” in the window Task Staffing for examples of how the requirement type specified for the job budget line and the strategy selected in the search criteria will together affect search results.

Employee Criteria Island

Field	Description
Employee No.	In these fields, you can enter a range of employee numbers. Only employees with numbers within the specified range will be included in the search results.
Employee Category	In these fields, you can enter a category name and number. Only employees assigned to the employee category with this name and number will be included in the search results.
Primary Employee Category	If you mark this field, only employees having the employee category specified in the field “Employee Category No.” above as primary category will be included in the search results.
Company No.	In these fields, you can enter a range of company numbers. Only employees assigned to companies with numbers within the specified range will be included in the search results.
Employee Type	In this pop-up field, you can specify an employee type. Only employees assigned to this type will be included in the search results.
Department	In this pop-up field, you can specify a department. Only employees assigned to this department will be included in the search results.
Min. Hours Available	In this field, you can enter a minimum number of hours to specify that the search results should only show employees who are available for at least this number of hours within the time frame specified in the fields “Date Interval,” and who match the other selection criteria.
Overtime Acceptance	In this field, you can specify to what extent overtime is accepted when Maconomy calculates the hours available for an employee to see if the employee matches the search criteria specified in this island. The option “None” is the default value of the field, but you can select among the following options: None — If you select this strategy, Maconomy will calculate the hours available without taking overtime into account. Moderate — This option means that the hours available are calculated by taking overtime into account. However, overtime is considered only on regular working days, that is, not including weekends and national holidays. High — If you select this option, the hours available are calculated by taking overtime into account. Overtime may be considered for all days, both regular working days and weekends, and so on. Note that overtime will never be considered on dates for which an employee has been specified as absent on an effective line in the employee absence calendar. For further information about effective absence calendar lines, see “Calendar Lines Entering into Effect.”
Overtime Threshold	In this field, you can enter a maximum number of overtime hours to be considered when Maconomy calculates the number of hours available for an employee to see if this employee matches the search criteria. If an employee matches the criterion in the field “Min. Hours Available” by taking overtime into consideration, this employee is not considered to match the search criteria if the total amount of overtime exceeds the threshold specified in this field. If you enter a value of “0” in this field, there will be no limit to the number of overtime hours when Maconomy calculates the number of hours available for an employee. If overtime should be entirely disallowed, the field “Overtime Acceptance” should have the value “None.”
Date Range	In these fields, you can enter a date range. The number of available hours and overtime for an employee will be calculated within this date range. Maconomy will automatically suggest the interval between the planned starting date and the planned ending of the job budget line, however with a few exceptions: If no planned starting date or planned ending date has been specified on the job budget line, the first possible ending and last possible ending date are used. If, after this, the first date of the interval is blank, today’s date will be used. If the ending date of the interval is blank, this field will default to one month after the starting date of the interval. If the starting date of the interval is before today’s date, this date will default to today’s date, instead. If both the starting date and ending date of the interval are before today’s date, the ending date will default to one month after today’s date.
