Inline Editing Resource Details

Activating Edit Mode

Image: Details views feature a toggle to allow inline editing. 

Use the Edit Mode toggle at the top of any event, location, resource, or organization details view to turn on or off the ability to edit fields inline. When the toggle is on, edit icons appear next to many fields. Turn the toggle off to protect fields from accidental edits.

Guidelines For Adding Resources

  • Because the resource name may appear in event web calendars you publish using the 25Live Publisher, make sure the name would make sense to the general public and complies with your resource naming conventions
  • You may want to review your Resource Categories master definition and possibly add new categories to it for selection here. Having good categories can greatly assist 25Live users in searching for resources and in the Event Form

Examples of uses include adding emphasis to text, images of resources, or 360-degree views of locations. Look for the rich text menus and controls to tell if the field accepts styled elements.

Special Field Types for Resources

Inventory

Adding and editing inventory levelsImage: You can add and edit inventory levels for resources inline. 

Use the Add Inventory Level button to add a new date range and quantity.

After an inventory level is added, fill in the Start Date, End Date, and the edit icon to edit Quantity for the inventory date range. For a single inventory level, add a date range with a far-future end date. Inventory date ranges cannot overlap.

Note: The End Date is inclusive, so if the end date is 12/31/2035, the resource will be available until the end of 12/31/2035.

The "X" icon will remove an inventory level.

Tip: Remove the Value for Unlimited Quantity

Use the "X" icon to remove the numeric inventory value if you want to show an unlimited quantity. 

You can also add inventories for different date ranges. For example:

  • If the regular quantity of a resource is 100
  • Then, you add a date range when that item is limited of September 1 - September 30 with a quantity of 2
  • Anything before that date range may show 100 available, while an event requesting the resource during the date range could show 2 available
