Defining Fixed Resources

You can define fixed resources for each room arrangement. A fixed resource is any resource that will always be available with a room arrangement. For example, if a room has a built-in projector, then you should define this projector as a fixed resource for the room's room arrangement.

Before you develop your fixed resources, you should develop your resource standards and room arrangements. For more information, see the Define Room Arrangements and Define Resource Standards topics.

Note: Since each room may have multiple room arrangements, make sure to define the fixed resources for each of the room's room arrangements. The fixed resources that are defined for each of a room's room arrangements may vary. For example, Room A's conference room arrangement may have different fixed resources than Room A's theater room arrangement.

In addition to defining fixed resources, you can also define unique resources, limited resources, and unlimited resources that can be assigned to any room arrangement. For more information, see the Define General Resources topic.
