Scheduling resources
When scheduling an activity, you can also schedule a resource to use with the activity. A resource is an item that can be reserved, such as a conference room or a projector, and it has conflict checking. Resources must be created before you can schedule them. For information about creating resources, see Adding a new resource. You schedule resources on the General tab or Availability tab of the Schedule Activity dialog box.
