trade

A trade is a skill category used to group labor resources. Trades are important for organizing craftspersons and also estimating the general labor requirements for a job, so that you can later schedule specific craftspersons to execute the work. Carpenter, Plumber, and Electrician are examples.

In the Reservations application, you can set up trade work requests for setup and cleanup tasks as well as for resource reservation tasks, such as catering. You can assign a Trade Code value to each room arrangement type and resource standard. After setting up trades, work requests can be generated by room and resource reservations. If you prefer, you can set up work requests using vendors instead of trades.
