Resolve Error: “Unexpected Error: TypeError: Cannot read property “0” from null”

Resource Skills Sets enable users to add information to employee and vendor records about skills and expertise and then search that information for the best matched project resource.

 

However, there are instances when user navigates to Lists > Employees > My Skill Sets and finds that the page is blank.

This is because of an error related to the employee not being a project resource. User should check the script deployment related to the page:

1. Navigate to Customization > Scripting > Script Deployments > RSS SL Resource Form
2. Click View
3. Click Execution Log

Result: “Unexpected Error: TypeError: Cannot read property “0” from null”

Solution

The reason for error is because the employee accessing the the My Skill Sets page is not a Project Resource. To resolve the concern, employee should be added:

1. Navigate to Lists > Employees > Employees
3. Employee: Click Edit
5. Click Human Resources tab
7. Project Resource: Enter Checkmark
9. Click Save
