Setting skill-level multiplier for resources

[Guest]

Is there a way to set a skill-level multiplier for resources such that
Resource A is 15% faster than resource B? I know this is fairly
granular and subjective (everyone can do different tasks at different
speeds), but I need a way to indicate that different resources are
overall faster or slower than others.

I envision entering Duration A, which how long an average resource
would take to get a task done. Then, if Resource B is 15% slower than
average, the actual duration for the task as assigned to Resource B
would be Duration A * 1.15.

Is there a way to do this? The only advice I've seen so far is a
complex macro. Tx.

This isn't a built in functionality in the tool, but you can create it for
yourself by assigning a custom attribute for resources to hold their
multiplier factor and use a macro to adjust either your work or duration
estimates based on the filed value.
