There are four groups of Resources that can be used on an Action to help build up a cost estimate:
•Labour
•Equipment
•Materials
The Labour tab, Equipment and Materials tabs are basically the same type of hierarchy, so the notes in the table immediately below apply to all three.
For a new first level item in the currently selected Tab, click:
•New - Top Level [Group]
For a new sub-level item in the currently selected Tab, click:
•New [Group]
