You can set up many different types of attributes for a worker to assist in the optimal scheduling of the worker. In addition to entering information about a worker’s education, skills, certifications, and project experience, you can also enter information about any additional skills that a worker has, such as public speaking ability or media knowledge.
Note
In AX 2012 R3 and cumulative update 7 or later for AX 2012 R2: Other worker attributes are no longer used as part of a worker’s profile.
