Creating Configuration Resources

When you create a resource, it is automatically added to a picklist. You can then add the resource to other customizable products by selecting it from the picklist.

When you create a resource, it is added to a dialog box. You can copy this resource definition to other customizable products and edit the definition as needed. In turn, the edited definition is added to the dialog box. When you remove a resource from a customizable product, it is removed from the dialog box.

To create a resource

1. Navigate to the Administration - Product screen.
2. Select and lock the desired customizable product or product class.
3. Navigate to the Resources view for the Work Space version.
4. In the Resource Administration list, add a new record and complete the necessary fields, described in the following table.

   Field	Comments
   Name	Enter the resource name. Use this name to refer to the resource in configuration constraints. The resource name does not display to the user. Since a resource name can be used by more than one product, avoid making the name product-specific.
   Type	Select Number. Resources all have the data type number, and they can only have numeric, integer, or floating point values
   Description	Enter a description of the resource. This description does not display to the user.
