Add Work Order Resources

Resources are consumable and trackable items that are budgeted and then used to help staff complete work.

Defining the Resource

When adding or editing a resource, you will need to define the resource's attributes. A Resource should be a consumable and trackable thing. Here are a few examples before you get started:

• Signs

• Concrete

• Asphalt

Example of a Resource

There's quite a bit of flexibility in defining a resource. To give you an idea of how a resource could be defined, here is one example:

• Title - Concrete

• Category - Raw Materials

• Measure - Pounds

• Decimal Points Allowed - 0.0

• Cost - 8 (dollars)

• Location - Materials Shed
