1. On a service resource record page, on the Skills related list, click **New**.
2. From the **Skills** list, select a skill.
3. Enter a skill level from 0 to 99.99 based on how your business measures skill level.
4. Enter a start date and an end date. For example, if a service resource must be recertified in a particular skill every six months, you can enter an end date that’s six months later than the start date.

    Note If the same skill is added with different sets of start and end dates, Salesforce Scheduler takes the first instance of the skill and calculates time slots.
5. Click **Save**. The service resource’s skill now appears in their Skills related list.
