Allocation analysis of Skill Demand

Always RED - This puts a color highlight on every instance of skill demand (as opposed to resource demand, where a specific resource is assigned to a project) to highlight assignments of "generic" skills that will need to be met by individual resources' capacities.

Ignore - Turns off color highlighting for all skill demand entries at all times.

Calculate - After calculating standard allocation (demand vs. capacity) for all resources, the application will strive to fill skill demand (only, not resource shortfall) by allocating unused capacity from resources who have the required skill.
