Resource Maintenance 
You use this activity to create and change resource records in the system (see Resource).
Note
You cannot change a resource record when SFC numbers are Active at that resource. You cannot give a resource the same name as an existing operation.
This activity allows you to do the following:
Group resources by type on the Resource Type tab page
Use hook point activities with resources (see Setting Up Activity Hooks)
Associate user certifications with resources on the Certifications tab page. You can also assign the certification to one or more user groups (see Certification).
Override system rules at the resource level on the System Rules tab page (see System Rule Maintenance)
Enter custom data values (see Custom Data)
