Editing and deleting Resource documents

After you create a Resource document, the information that you can change includes the Availability Settings, Description, Capacity, Online resource data, Other Comments, and Ownership Options fields. To change any other information about the resource, you must delete the Resource document and then create a new one containing the new information.

About this task

New resource information is not available until the Administration Process updates the Resource document in the Domino® Directory and the change replicates to all relevant replicas of the Domino Directory that are on servers used for scheduling resources.

If you delete a resource from the Resource Reservations database, an Administration Process Request document for the resource deletion is created in the Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF). To delete the resource and remove it from the Domino Directory, you must open the Administration Requests database and approve the request for deletion. Note that to approve requests you need the appropriate access in the ACL of the Administration Requests database.
