Skills MV matching not working

[Nana]

I recently set up a skill MV code (Enterprise Resource Outline Code 20)
to use for skills matching (when building a team or in the resource
substitution wizard). My question is do the skills sets on generic
resources have the real resources (i.e AND condition) or does it do a
contains search. Right now the generic resources are matchig themselves
which indicates to me that is an "AND" condition. Is this true? if so
how can this be changedz?

Nana --

Your question is an excellent one! When Project Server performs skill
matching, the system builds a "Contains" filter. To confirm this, do the
following:

1. Open an enterprise project containing Generic resources
2. Click Tools - Build Team from Enterprise
3. Select a Generic resource in the list on the right
4. Click the Match button
5. Expand the Customize Filters section by clicking the + button

The Customize Filters section now reveals the exact filter that the system
uses to peform a "Match" operation. If the software is not matching
correctly, then this might indicate you have not set the correct attributes
for each human resource and/or Generic resource in the Enterprise Resource
Pool. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your quick response. I verifed your sugesstion and sure
engough it does a contains search. But it also appends a "AND"
condition to the skill sets, hence a resource only matches itself. When
i change the "AND" condition to "OR", i get back results that are the
same for ever resource i try to match against. This indicates that i
might have a problem with my skills enterprise code right? I can i fix
this? do i have to recreate it?

Also, how do i get Project to set the "OR" condition by default
