concept australia Updated Sep 10, 2026 1 min read c_ResourceEvents.md
A resource event is a block of time that a resource spends on a task.
Each time a resource manager makes an allocation, the system creates one or more resource events for that resource. The resource events appear on the user's personal calendar.
When a booking changes from soft to hard, resource events are created for the resource.
- Resource events and schedules
