How do I assign a warehouse to an activity?

If you're using a warehouse to manage inventory, you must assign a warehouse to each activity, so that mobile workers can pick up inventory only from the chosen warehouse.

1. Sign in as a dispatcher.
2. Search for the activity for which you want to add the warehouse.
3. Open the Activity Details page, click Resource Preferences.
   The Resource Preferences section is available only if your user type has the Read-Write permissions for this section.
4. On the Resource Preferences page, click > Add Preference > Warehouse.
5. Start typing the name of the warehouse and select it when listed.
   The warehouses you see here depend on the resources that are visible to you. They're set in the Visible Resources field on the Resource Info page.
6. Click Add.

   You can assign any warehouse to any resource's activity in the scope of your visible resources. A mobile worker can use the inventory of a warehouse even if it's out of their scope of visibile resources. So, they might not see a warehouse in the resource tree, but they can use the inventory from the warehouse while working with an activity.

   Using Resource Preferences gives you the flexibility to manage shared inventory. Resources can share inventory only in the scope of specific activities and not all activities.
