Capabilities

This screen allows you to define as many Capabilities as required..  Capabilities can be used to ensure the correct resources are assigned to a task or activity or assembly step in the planned Assignments when using the Assignment Board.


An example of a typical capability would be to only be allowed to deploy orders to a Freeway user who may hold a specific Certificate of competence in a particular field. eg: Be assigned certain jobs which call for an Heavy Transport Class 2 license or be accredited to work on certain types of electrical jobs. Only after all of these capabilities have been satisfied by assigning them to the appropriate resources, will the assignment become available to those resources the assignment booking is linked to.
