Staffing Resources are people who may be needed to work or volunteer for a program event or group visit. For example, you may need an event volunteer for exhibition openings or a tour guide for large groups. If applicable, you can also select whether you need a staffing resource on a per capacity basis. For example, your tour guides have a maximum of 20 participants. If a group has 100 participants, there will need to be 5 tour guide resources. Also, you can choose to add a group sales cost to the resource. The pricing structure can be a flat rate or hourly rate per resource.
After you add a staffing resource, you can access the resource record to perform additional configuration tasks. For example, you can add a program or view an event’s resources. Each individual resource record displays configuration details at the top of the screen. These details include the name, description, quantity available, capacity per resource, pricing structure, and cost per resource. From an open resource record, you can edit the name, description, quantity available, capacity per resource, screening plan, and group type requirements. For example, you may use group type requirements to ensure certain types of groups, such as school groups, use specific staffing resources when they visit.
When you delete a resource, it is removed from the database. If a resource is linked to an event, it cannot be deleted. Instead, you can mark it inactive. For more information see Mark Resources as Inactive.
