Only Resource and system administrators can add or edit resources in ResSched. Organizations can change the terms bookings, clients, resources, and categories to reflect their own usage. Because bookings consist of resources, clients and other items, there is a separate label to designate individual bookings (default is "Name"). When the labels have been changed in Organization Settings, the new terms are used in ResSched schedules, lists and input forms. The new labels do not affect the documentation.
