Resources

Available only on the web.

The Resources tool is a central repository for all resources on a Teamworks AMS site, such as documents, videos and images. It is organized by categories and tags. Each resource can have descriptors (like title, owner, file type) added to it which allow you to filter search results. Some examples of common resources are training drill videos, exercise guides, recipes and other aids for coaches and athletes.

An administrator determines which people can view, add and delete resources by assigning data permissions for resource categories. Viewing a resource in a category that you have permission to access is a matter of searching for that resource and then downloading it. Adding or removing a resource is carried out using the resource management options; however, people can only add or remove resources from categories for which they have a data permission. If someone doesn’t have permission to manage resources for any category, they won’t be able to use the resource management functions.

Resources can also be added via an event form as an attachment to a record. Attachments can be seen in the sidebar and performance history as well as from the resources tool. Like other resources, attachments are only available to people who have permission to view them.
