Resource Types are used by resources and resource pools to define a category of what the resource or the resource pool is.  There are eight resource types which are:

1. Resource
2. Labor
3. Outsource
4. Prepare
5. Break
6. Inventory
7.        Wait.  Only one resource can be identified as a Wait time resource.  When a new dataset is created, the wait resource name is "DMS Wait".  You can change the resource name to any valid name you wish.
8.        Move.  Only one resource can be identified as a Move time resource.  When a new dataset is created, the move resource name is "DMS Move".  You can change the resource name to any valid name you wish.

You cannot delete a resource type, but you can change the name and assign a color and bold text to a resource type for ease of identification purposes.
