Resources include the tools, equipment, and office spaces that the organization uses to complete its work, e.g., printers, conference rooms. Location resources are resources specific to a location, e.g., location printer 1, location photocopier 2. The types of resource that can be assigned to a location are configurable.
Existing resources can be assigned to a location. Resources can also be applied to multiple locations. Only active and operating resources are available to be assigned. A location cannot be deleted if it has an active resource. Resources that are applied to a location can also be applied to its child locations.
Resources have parameters. A resource parameter could be a technical address, e.g., the network address for a printer. A parameter could also be the serial code on a mobile phone. Parameters are flexible depending on the resource type.
Users must have sufficient location administration rights to view and maintain a resource. A user will not be able to assign a resource to a child location without sufficient maintain rights for that child location.
