Introduction

Resources can be logically organized according to where they are physically located.

For example, all the resources in your corporate office can be grouped based on the location of your office.

The following can be viewed:

  • Policy log and schedule maintenance for the group of resources can be viewed.
  • Availability statuses of the resources belonging to the site (or the location).

Before you start, discover all the resources for your location.
