Add sub resources

Populating your sites with assets and their contents

Introduction

All sub-resurces are added in the same way - click the Add button at the top of the list to add a sub-resource, fill in the details on the New Resource form and click Confirm (or click New to save and create another). Alternatively you can click the New button at the top right of any resource card to add another resource at the same level as the current resource card. (more on this below)

Add a section to a site

Sites are divided into one or more Sections. To add a Section to a Site click the the Add button at the top of the list of Sections.

Enter new section information

In the Create resource form enter the new section name, and optionally enter details and gross / net areas. Click Confirm to finish adding Sections or New to save this section and add another.

Add assets to a section

Assets are added to Sections in the same way as Sections are added to Sites. Simply click the Add button and name the new Asset. When adding resources it is also possible to use the New button on any resource card to create another resource at the same level. In the above screen shot, clicking the New button marked 1 will add a new Asset to the Student Housing Section whilst clicking the New button marked 2 will add a new Section to the King's College Site.

Populating the rest of the site

Adding further sub-resource levels is accomplished in the same way, all the way down to component elements of items in rooms. Of course you do not have to go down to this level of detail - but the more comprehensive your database is, the better your management information, history and audit trail will be.

Once you get down to Item and Component level there are additional details you can enter - see the Section on adding Items and Components for more details.

Navigating the resource path

As you add resources and drill further down into your site you will notice a breadcrumb trail building up at the top of the screen - this will allow you to jump back up to any location along the current path just by clicking the name of the relevant object in the trail.
