Filter values vs doc filter values

The document filter values are the filter values that belong to a task or a resource. The document filter values of a task or resource are usually a subset of the filter values, which are a list of the available values for a filter group.

The document filter values of a task determine the characteristics required by a resource to perform the task. Here are some examples that make this abstract concept more tangible:

  • Which skills are required from a person to carry out a task?
  • What is the minimal pressure or power required from a machine?
  • What minimum capacity is required for a conference room?
