Managing Resources
For each Task Processor displayed in the System Overview window, you can access the associated Resource categories by selecting the Task Processor icon. Any Resource categories associated with the selected Task Processor are then displayed in the Resources Pane. For information on individual Resources, see “Task Processor Resources”.
To create, duplicate, edit, delete, import or export Resources
You can manage your Resources in a number of ways. These procedures are similar for most Resource categories.
1 From the System Overview window, select (single-click) the Task Processor whose Resources you want to work with.
The Resource categories associated with the Task Processor appear in the Resources pane.
2 Double-click the Resource category of your choice.
The Resources that are available in this category are displayed in a new Resource category dialog box.
You will also see a set of icons at the bottom of the dialog box.

You can use these icons to create, duplicate, edit, set as default, delete, import or export Resources within the selected Resource category.
NOTE: The icons and actions that are available vary from resource to resource.
