Creating, editing, and deleting resources ensures that your production operations run smoothly. Resources can be anything from employees to workstations, and managing them effectively allows for assigning specific tasks and calculating operational costs.

In the Production operations tab of the product card, you can assign a Resource to each Operation step.

Manage the tasks list for each Resource from the Tasks tab of the Make screen.

If a Resource you want to use isn't in the list, create it from in the Production operations tab inside a product card.

Creating new Resources

  1. Create a product or choose an existing one from the Items screen.

  2. Click on the Production Operations tab (you'll need to have I make this product checkmarked).

  3. Type in a new resource name in the Resource field.

  4. Press Enter or click on Create new "resource" in the drop-down menu. Your Resource name is saved automatically.

You can also create, edit, and, delete resources from Settings screen > Resources.

On the Resources page, you can assign a default Cost per Hour to each Resource. The Cost per Hour will then be added to the production operation step on the Production operations tab.

Saved resources can be reused in production operations for other products, saving you time re-adding them.

From the Settings screen, you can also drag and drop to reorder resources. The same order of resources is used in the Tasks tab of the Make screen. Read more about the Tasks tab.
