        <resourceskills >
          <resourceskill resource name="John" />
          <resourceskill resource name="Paul" />
          <resourceskill resource name="Neil" />

Example Python code

  • Adding or changing resource skills
    skill = frepple.skill(name="Qualified operator")
    resource = frepple.resource(name="John")
    frepple.resourceskill(resource=resource, skill=skill, priority=1)
  • Deleting a skill
    skill = frepple.skill(name="Qualified operator")
    resource = frepple.resource(name="John")
    frepple.resourceskill(resource=resource, skill=skill, action="R")
  • Iterate over skills and assigned resources
    for m in frepple.skills():
      print "Following resources have skill '%s':" % m.name
      for i in m.resourceskills:
        print " ", i.resource.name, i.priority, i.effective_start, i.effective_end
  • Iterate over resources and assigned skills
    for m in frepple.resources():
      print "Resources '%s' has skills:" % m.name
      for i in m.resourceskills:
        print " ", i.skill.name, i.priority, i.effective_start, i.effective_end
