❑The Operator Skills tab on the Employee Form must be completed for any Employee assigned an Operator or All Type code if they will be using the Central Station Monitoring module.

•Once these Operator Skills have been defined, they may then be assigned to specific Employees in the Operator Skills tab.
❖In MKMSCS, when an Operator with somewhat basic skills (e.g., Trainee) is handling a non-critical signal and another signal comes in from that same Account that should not be handled by that Operator because of their limited Skill level, the new (higher Priority) signal will not be assigned a Waiting Status (waiting for that Operator because they are already processing another signal for that Account), but instead will assign the signal a Pending Status and store it in the Alarm Stack until an Operator becomes available who does have the Skill set required to process that signal.
