Creating a Resource
When you create a resource record, you're also creating a calendar associated with the resource. If the resource is public, then any NetSuite user in your account can select the resource on the calendar page and see when the resource is booked for a certain day, week, or month.
To create a resource record:
-
Go to Activities > Setup > Resources and click New.
-
In the Name field, enter a name for this resource. This name appears in the list on the Resources subtab of event records.
-
The Owner field displays your name by default as the creator of this resource record. You can select another user to be responsible for this resource record.
-
Enter a brief description of this resource in the Description field.
-
Check the Private box if you only want the owner to be able to view the resource calendar.
-
The Title field displays the name of the resource. You can edit this field if you want to rename the resource.
-
In the Daily Start Time and Daily End Time fields, select the time this calendar day begins and ends.
This can be the start and end of the work day, or any time you want to see events on this resource calendar.
-
Click Save.
Now you can set calendar preferences for this resource and reserve this resource when you schedule events. For more information, see Setting Calendar Preferences for a Resource and Reserving Resources for Events.
