Add 'Select Resource' to a Visual Form Editor

You can add the Select Resource button to the Edit/View activity and Add/Details inventory Visual Form Editor to help dispatchers, field users, and supervisors view the activities assigned to a mobile worker in one click. For dispatchers, Select Resource leads to the Dispatch Console, where the resource is automatically selected in the resource tree. For mobile workers and supervisors who don’t have access to the Dispatch Console, Select Resource opens the mobile worker's landing page.

The Select Resource link is added by default to the Activity Hint and it can't be configured.
