Resource relationships
Resource relationships define the interdependencies that exist among resources on your campus. They let you define which resources must always be scheduled together and which resources can be substituted for other resources.
You can define any of the following relationships for a resource:
This relationship...

For example
Also Assign
 
Other resources that are also automatically assigned to an event when this resource is assigned.
You want to ensure that when a van is assigned to an event, a van driver is also assigned. To do this, you would specify that when a van is assigned “also assign” a van driver.
 
 
 
Substitute With
Other resources that can be substituted for the requested resource.
You want to ensure that if a scheduler attempts to assign a van to an event and no vans are available, he/she is given the option of assigning a truck instead. To do this, you would specify that if a van is not available, “substitute with” a truck.
Note This is an FYI notice to the scheduler only. No automatic substitution occurs.
