Managing Groups of Resources

Summary

Resources, one of the Elements in ShowMgr, are individuals, such as crew members and camera people, who get assigned to Orders. Any Resource can also be added to a Group as a way of simplifying and managing similar Resources. For example, you may want to create a Group that contains preferred editors. This article walks through the basc components of viewing and adding Groups

  2. Identify the Group you want to modify/update:
