A resource can own sub-resources, which can range from equipment to contact information. Sub-resources are also designed to report statuses. This two-level hierarchy allows both the facility and an item it owns or service it provides to report statuses appropriate to its level. The primary sub-resource of any resource type can be included in views. When it is, you see the sub-resource and its status types.

If you are authorized to update the parent resource's statuses, you can also update its sub-resources' statuses from the view.

In addition, sub-resources can appear in a resource's Detail View. When included, they appear after the resource's status types. There is a section for each sub-resource type associated with the resource. Each section provides the names of sub-resources of that type, and also shows which sub-resource is the primary one of that type by displaying a flag icon next to its name. If you have the appropriate rights, you can add sub-resources from these sections by clicking the appropriate Add button.

1. Click a sub-resource's name to view the details. The sub-resource's Detail View page opens.

   

2. If you have the appropriate rights, you can edit the sub-resource by clicking the Edit button.
