Viewing Resource Details

Security Note

What you can see and do in this application depends on the security permissions associated with your 25Live user account. In addition, if your user does not have permission Basic: 9.0 View Contacts in Series25 Group Administration enabled, the default scheduler for a location may not be visible.

You may also want to ensure your user has the 18.0 Basic Resource Searching and 18.1 Advanced Resource Search and Manage Personal Searches permissions set to “Yes” to find resources you want to view the details for.

If you can't access something you think you should be able to, contact your 25Live Administrator.

  • List
  • Availability (Daily)
  • Calendar
  • Audit Trail

Standard controlsImage: These standard controls are available in all details view sub-sections.

Each sub-section has controls for:

  • Refresh:  To pull a fresh view of the data
  • Help:  To access more information about this view
