Resources
Resources are any facilities, people, or equipment that you need to book to run an event. You can define generic resource types, such as overhead projector and networked PCs. You define these as QuickCode values. You can also define specific resources that are available from a particular supplier.
For example, you could record that the Grove International Hotel (the supplier) has one venue holding 500 people and four venues holding 100 people.
Two resource types are predefined: venues and trainers. You cannot delete these types because they are used by the system.
Training Resource Key Flexfield
For each resource type, you set up a structure of the Training Resource key flexfield to hold the information that you want. This gives you complete control over the information held for each resource type, and how it is formatted and validated.
You can define up to 30 segments for each flexfield structure and you can choose how to validate each segment, including cross-validation between segments. Setting up flexfields is normally a job for your system administrator.
For example, you might set up the following segments for the Trainer resource type:
For the Venue resource type, you might define the following segments:
You can define the same segment in multiple structures. For example, you might include the Center segment in the structures for all resource types so that you can report on all resources held at your training centers.
