Resource Editor
Description
The Resource Editor is used to create, edit, and delete resources and resource groups. Resources must belong to a resource group. At the moment sub-groups are not allowed. |
Working resources must refer to a calendar that defines the working hours for the resource. Calendars are created using the Work and Vacation Editor.
Material resources are by default always available. You can use a calendar to limit its availability.
Resources can be Shared or Local. A local resource is only used in the current project. A shared resource can be shared between multiple projects and is stored in a separate file, see Managing Resources.

Button | Short cut | Description |
Add Resource Group | Ctrl+I | Button to create a resource group. The new group is appended at the end of the groups. |
Add Resource | Ctrl+Shift+I | Button to create a resource. The new resource is appended as a child to the currently selected group. If a resource is selected, the new resource is appended to its parent group. |
