Overview
By default, resources in RAPLA are categorised into three: Facility, Equipment, and Staff. These are highly customisable depending on you business or institution's requirements. Adding resources is best done before you create sessions or events as RAPLA has the capability to detect conflicts when it comes to managing your resources. This knowledge article will guide you on how you can add new resources in RAPLA by type: Facility, Equipment, and Staff.
NOTE
If you want to add or customised more the types of Resources than what you have been provided as default, please feel free to raise a ticket or contact our Support Team. The following workflows assume that you have the default resources types as mentioned in the Overview section.
