Resources

Resources represent technicians, subcontractors, or tools that can be scheduled.

What You Can Do

  • Create and update resources with display names and titles.

  • Assign resource type (Technician/FieldWorker, Subcontractor, Tool/Equipment) and skill level.

  • Control whether a resource appears on the Schedule Board with the Available for Scheduling toggle.

  • Track active status and link an employee record when payroll exports are needed.

  • Use the Employee field to associate a resource with an employee record.

  • Payroll integration metadata lives on the employee record (Settings → Employees).
