Assign Skill Proficiency and Interest Levels to Labor Resources

A labor resource's proficiency level is used to rate how good he or she is at the skills to which they are associated. You can change skill proficiency and interest level settings at any time. There are three basic proficiency levels: Beginner at the bottom of the scale, Expert at the top, and Advanced in the middle. You can further refine the rating by identifying sublevels within the level. For example, a resource with a proficiency level of 3 - Beginner has more expertise than one with a level of 1 - Beginner.

Interest rating works the same way: CA Clarity PPM provides three basic interest levels, with Low at the bottom, High at the top, and Medium in the middle. At each level, you can select a sublevel. For example, a resource with an interest level of 7 - Medium has a greater interest in performing a skill than one with an interest level of 4 - Medium.
