We define a resource as either a person or a physical asset that is in the field.
A person resource (e.g., staff, contractors, or 3rd parties) is associated with a Salesforce user record; however, an asset resource requires no user record as it is typically an object (e.g., devices and vehicles).
Check if the resource is a Salesforce user.
If this is a person resource, first, make sure this person is already set up as a Salesforce user. If this is an asset resource, go straight to step 2.

Create a new resource:
Using Salesforce Classic: Go to Resource (tab) > click New.
Using Salesforce Lightning: Go to the App Launcher > Resources > click New.
Fill out the fields for your resource:
Resource Name.
Resource Type.
User (resource) (attach a resource to the Salesforce user) **Only if this is a "person" resource!**
Primary Region.
Mobile Phone (if using SMS) or Email.
Notification Type (either SMS or Email).
Country Code (for SMS).
Home Address (Note: addresses entered in the Salesforce UI will not automatically be geo-located. However, any addresses entered in the web app will automatically be geo-located).
IsActive (to ensure they can be "scheduled" as a resource within the Skedulo web app).
To add a photo for a resource.
Go to the resource's "Chatter" profile in Salesforce and upload a chatter profile photo (this will then be displayed within Skedulo).

Note
Once a resource has been created, and the "Is Active" checkbox is ticked, their details can be maintained from within the Skedulo web app.
