How Skills Data Affects Cost Calculations

Skills allocation schemas often contain detailed labor rates that are broken out by skill category.  For projects with skills breakouts turned on, the average labor rate for the project (Edit Project | Project Settings tab) is recalculated whenever new solutions are generated and the resulting skills mix (per time period), phase time, and average staffing change.  When a solution is saved, SLIM-Collaborate will update the blended, project-level labor rate to the latest value.
