Located in the left panel of the windows, this area displays all the resources inserted and configured in the system, allowing it to insert new resources or modify existing ones.
This section will allow to manage added resources (but not yet inserted into the Resources Diagram) through the various tools available on their right-click contextual menu:
Properties (F4) - Set the properties of a particular resource and manage it through specific tools.
Delete Resource (DEL) - Remove a device from the list of Resources. If the resource has been added to the resource diagram, it must be deleted first. See Deleting resources.
View Device Type - It shows you the selected device type. It is useful because the user assigns a name to the device, but in a busy Resources diagram, the actual device type may not be clear.
Locate Resource (CTRL F) - This option will locate the resource on the Resources diagram. A 'Resources not found' message will appear if the resource has not been added to the view.
Expand All - The resources tree is broken down by resource (Videoserver, Video Router, etc) and with sub-menus of the device type. Select this option to view the complete list of all resources and device types.
Collapse All - Select this option to view only the resource headers and not the sub menus in the resource tree.
Moreover, to start inserting resources, just click the [Add] button and follow the instructions detailed in the Adding a New Resource chapter.
NB: When Resource Editor is launched, a new resource list will be created upon successful connection to the SQL Database. From Etere released version 29.2 onwards, if there is no correspondence between the workstation logged-in user and resource location path in the database (e.g. due to improper shutdown of SQL Server), the last saved resource list would be read and present in the workstation.
