To configure work orders and work order tasks to use the task skills, which table should be configured?

• A. Work Order Skills (wo_skill) table
• B. Task Skills (task_m2m_skill) table
• C. Skill Matrix (skill_matrix) table
• D. Task Skill Levels (task_skill_levels) table

Answer: (B)

The key idea is the per-task association of skills through a dedicated mapping between tasks and skills. The Task Skills (task_m2m_skill) table is a many-to-many bridge that links each task (including work order tasks) to the Skill records. This is what lets you declare exactly which skills are required for a given task and, if supported, the level of proficiency needed. With this mapping, both a work order and its tasks can use the same task-skill definitions for skill-based assignment and validation.

If skills were attached only at the work order level, you’d lose per-task granularity, since different tasks on the same work order can require different skills. The Skill Matrix table handles broader cross-skill relationships rather than the direct task-to-skill link. The Task Skill Levels table stores level values for a task-skill pair but relies on the existence of the task-skill association itself.
