Resources are created with the help of resource types. Resource types serve to facilitate and unify the creation of resources via meta tags. As a result, essential basic configurations only have to be made once, upon creating a resource type.

Overview of Settings by Resource Type
Every resource type shares the same base fields: Keywords, Active From, Active Until, Availability (with defined periods), Location, Scheduling Notes, Status, and Number. The remaining settings differ by type.
Each resource type is described individually and in detail further below. Some settings may appear multiple times, since the types overlap in several aspects.
