Add sub resources

Introduction

All sub-resurces are added in the same way - click the Add button at the top of the list to add a sub-resource, fill in the details on the New Resource form and click Confirm (or click New to save and create another). Alternatively you can click the New button at the top right of any resource card to add another resource at the same level as the current resource card. (more on this below)

Add a section to a site

Sites are divided into one or more Sections. To add a Section to a Site click the the Add button at the top of the list of Sections.

Enter new section information

In the Create resource form enter the new section name (1), and optionally enter details (2) and gross / net areas (3). Click Confirm (4) to finish adding Sections or New (5) to save this section and add another. Click the Child (6) button to confirm this section and proceed to add an asset such as a building or area of grounds.

From this form you can also add any custom data that you wish to store relating to this section. Use the 'add custom data' (7) section to enter the details of any custom data items you wish to add that relate to this resource. (see the section on custom data for more information on adding custom data to resources)

Add assets to a section

Assets are added to Sections in the same way as Sections are added to Sites. Simply click the Add button and name the new Asset. When adding resources it is also possible to use the New button on any resource card to create another resource at the same level or click the Child button to confirm the current resource and proceed to one or more children to it, for instance add a series of rooms to a floor. In the above screen shot, clicking the New button marked (1) will add a new Asset to the Student Housing Section whilst clicking the New button marked (2) will add a new Section to the King's College Site.

Populating the rest of the site

Adding further sub-resource levels is accomplished in the same way, all the way down to component elements of items in rooms. Of course you do not have to go down to this level of detail - but the more comprehensive your database is, the better your management information, history and audit trail will be.

Once you get down to Item and Component level there are additional details you can enter - see the Section on adding Items and Components for more details.

Navigating the resource path

As you add resources and drill further down into your site you will notice a breadcrumb trail building up at the top of the screen - this will allow you to jump back up to any location along the current path just by clicking the name of the relevant object in the trail.
