Resources must be defined before they are used by jobs' operations.  To access Resources, select Manufacturing | Resources from the Manufacturing Menu.

A screen will appear listing the current resources as in the example below:

Note that resources can be colored coded depending on their Resource Type.  Also, you can setup up to 5 resource user fields.

Click on File | New or the new icon to add a new group, or click on File | Edit or the edit icon to edit the existing highlighted resource.  A new screen will appear enabling you to add a new resource or edit the existing resource.  See the Resources tab for the next steps.

Click on File | Delete or the delete icon to delete the existing highlighted resource.  For example, to delete  the resource "Added Queue" you would highlight the resource and select delete.  DMS will confirm the delete with a window as follows:

If you click OK, the resource and all its profiles and pool references will be deleted.  Click Cancel to cancel the delete.  Note that you cannot delete a resource that is used by an operation; however, you can make a resource unavailable for future use by removing the check for the Available prompt on the Resources tab.

Resources has five tabs:

1. Resources tab
2. Resource Profiles tab
3. Resources Pools tab
