Getting Started

Resources refer to tangible goods/inputs that are needed for your business to carry out its function. These resources that you create can be used on rate schedules to be invoiced, set as a booking requirement, or used as a person classification.

Types of resources

Depending on how you use your resources, there are different types of resources types.

Note: Vehicles, Persons, and Equipment required an allocation when used on the booking board.

  • Vehicle

  • Person

  • Equipment

  • Document

  • Stock

  • Third-party

  • Non-Billable

How to create a resource

  1. Go to Admin on the sidebar

  2. Click Resources on the top toolbar

  3. Click +New

  4. Name and choose an abbreviation

  5. Select its resource type

  6. Create

Creating a resource will automatically create a corresponding Item Classifaction

Item Classification

Item classifications allow you to group multiple resources into a group. These groupings tell the system how you book or invoice out resources. For example, you can group a Ute and a Traffic controller together so that schedulers will know to add a Ute and TC to the booking when that item classification is used while booking.

How to add an item classification

  1. Select the Admin tab in the left-hand side toolbar

  2. Select Item classifications

  3. +New

  4. Input name and description

  5. Please enter the quantity number of each resource that is part of this item classification (Items classifications MUST have a resource attached or the system will not know how to charge them)

  6. Create

Note: Creating a resource will automatically create the item in Item Classifications.
