Create a container (Resource Manager)

Select Catalog > Add Resource

 

Note: You must be logged in at the district as a district administrator or have district-level privileges to create resource containers.

To designate a new resource as a container
  1. If you are not on the Check Sources page, then follow the steps in the blue title bar.
  2. Enter a name for the resource in the Where Resource Name field.

Note: If this is a new resource, click Add the Resource on the far right of the page.

  1. Edit or enter information in all appropriate fields.
  2. Select the Includes other items checkbox.
  3. Click Save.
  4. To continue, click Yes to confirm that you want the resource to include other items.

Note: The resource is now defined as a container. Add a barcoded item, which becomes the "parent" item. All included items added to this resource parent item are defined as "child" items.

  1. If this resource is new, on the Resource Details subtab, click Add Item.
    This is the container.
  2. Enter a barcode in the Starting Barcode field, or select Assign next barcode.
  3. Click Save.
  4. Continue to add items (containers) to the resource as needed.

You can now include items in each container as a district administrator or at a site as a site-level user. The container is also available at this time to be checked out or in.
