Summary
Resources, one of the Element types within ShowMgr, are individuals such as crew members and camera people, who get assigned to Orders. Any Resource can be assigned to a specific position. ShowMgr comes pre-loaded with default positions, however you are still able to add and manage your own positions

button. Fill out the mandatory fields (denoted in red) as well as any other relevant fields. Note: for those positions that can be part of different position categories (e.g. consultant, full time employee), just add the position once and tick all of the check-boxes of the position categories you want the position to be assigned to. Click Submit to save

Grouping Positions Together
If you are looking for a way to group multiple positions together so you can work with them as a set, you will need to create a Favorite for the group of positions. Setting the favorite up can be time-consuming, but once you create the favorite you can use them as a set on the resource grid, booking assignment, scheduling, etc.
