General Class Resources

General class resources are any materials needed by the instructor or participants for classroom-based training sessions; projectors, flip charts or laptops, for example. They are specific to a training center or facility, restricting them to a particular location.  

To manage class resources, your user role must have unrestricted access to the Class Resource Manager feature.

Create a Class Resource

  1. Go to Manage Center > Learning > Class Resource Manager > Class Resources.
  2. Click + Create Resource.
  3. Enter the class resource details. Use the table below for guidance:

The table below describes the standard fields that are available for general class resources. Your organization may also use custom class resource attributes. For information, please see Class Resource Attributes.

Pre-processing time might include transporting the resource from storage or another training location, for example.
Post Processing Time Enter the number of days required to process the resource after the end of a scheduled event (for example, a classroom training session). The resource will not be available for booking for this number of days after its scheduled booking.
