Multiple Enterprise codes.

Hello folks,
I searched DG here for quite a delicate thing required by our organization,
but could not find an answer. I hope that the experts would be able to guide
me in right direction in this DG.

The Problem:
I would like to create an Enterprise Field, for example: EmployeeSkills. As
with skills, a person can have more than one skills at a time. so, I would
need multi-value outline code. so, this is what I came up with:
used Enterprise outline Code 20, which supports MV. Then I defined code mask
which can go 4 levels deep -> *.*.*.*
Then I defined the lookup table ->
Corporate
Development
Microsoft
C/C++
NET
Others
Unix/Linux
C
Others

Now, I want to add two skills to a single employee... for e.g.
Corporate.Development.Microsoft.C/C++
Corporate.Development.Unix/Linux.C

but I am unable to do that, because the outline field allows selection of
only one field. I cannot select multiple values for a single outline code.

Can you please shed a little light over this issue, and tell me whether this
kind of thing is really possible?

Thanks a lot in anticipation.

Andy

EnDee --

You must insert the MV version of the field to the Resource Sheet view while
you have the Enterprise Resource Pool open. Right click on any column in
the view and select Insert Column. Scroll to find the Enterprise Outline
Code 20 field, which should have both regular and MV versions of it.

If you do not see an MV version listed, then you must "activate" the MV
functionality of the field by selecting a single entry for at least one
person. Then, when you go to insert the field, you should see the MV
version listed. Hope this helps.

By the way, what the heck is DG?
