Resources

Resources are one of the main components of SimpleCTE. Resources allow users to manage known information about a resource that a partner can provide the school, or vice versa. For example, a resource could be a cooperative education opportunity with a local organization, or a scholarship that a student can apply for provided by an organization.

Resources only have a few fields, as they mainly shine in their ability to link Contacts and Organizations together. Resources can be linked to Contacts and Organizations through the Associated Resources table in the Contact and Organization View screens. Resources can also be linked to other Resources through the Associated Resources table in the Resource View screen.

While in an Organization View or Contact View screen, alt-clicking on a Resource in the table will reveal five options about managing Resources:

Option	Description
View Resource	Brings you to the View screen of the selected Resource.
Create Resource	Creates a new Resource and links it to the current Contact or Organization.
Link Resource	Links a specified Resource to the current Contact or Organization.
Unlink Resource	Unlinks the selected Resource from the current Contact or Organization.
Delete Resource	Deletes the selected Resource. This removes the resource for every linked object.
