Resources allow you to track a finite set of items and assign them to members. While the possibilities are endless, common Resource sets are lockers and boat parking spaces. You can have more than one Resource Set for different purposes and Resources.

Subscription Resource Sets

This example will show how to add a Resource to a Core Subscription.
