Users of the TMS with the permission "Manage Resources" have the ability to create resource section content for their own use or to share with other users. Resources are widely helpful in getting important information to the right groups of users.
Create a Resource
- Locate a product either in a Directory or the Product Catalog.
- Select the Edit button.
- View the Product Description page.
- Select the Edit pencil.
5. Go the Edit Resources area of the page and select + Add Resource.
6. Enter a Resource title (required) and select Create.
7. Select Add Element. Choose from the list of Element Types to begin building content.
8. Continue adding elements to your resource as desired (optional).
9. Select the purple Preview button at the top right of the screen to see how the content will display. You can click the X Close button to return to the editor.
10. Return to the Product Catalog using the back button on the browser or use the breadcrumbs to return to the Edit page to add additional resource sections.
Resources appear in the order they are created. If you wish you adjust the position of a given section element or a section itself, you must reorder them after creation using the movement icons shown below.
Customizing Resource Visibility
Customize the visibility of a resource section to choose which audience(s) can view the resource in the catalog.
When creating a Resource, it is set to be visible only to the creator and those with Manage Resources permissions. For the resource section to be visible to teachers or other staff in the Product Catalog, the visibility must be adjusted.
The options for visibility are:
- None - default setting; only visible to those with Manage Resource permissions
- All Users - all division staff who will log in to the TMS
- Assigned Teams - as created in Teams in the Settings area

To customize the visibility:
- Click the pencil to the right of the desired Resource section you'd like to customize.
- Click the Visibility tab.
- Select the radio button to the left of either None, All Users, or Assigned Teams. If choosing Assigned Teams, you must also click + Add beside the desired teams.

- Select the trash can icon at the top right of the page.
