!! Can I display the resource in Schedule and Grid view if I'm using the ID?
Yes. If you change the fields that show the resource ID in Schedule and Grid views to a pop-up field control and assign them to a value list that's set to only show the second field of the resources (the name) then that's what will display there, even when not in focus. Those fields aren't editable in either the Schedule or Grid views, so there's no danger of selecting them, but you'll probably need to futz with the borders a little to make them look right, as making them a pop-up puts a border on them by default.

You can also populate the $$sc_ResourceList variable with a SQL statement. One advantage of this is that you don't need to leave your current layout; another is that your SQL statement can include the sort order in it. If you're not used to writing SQL queries, feel free to use our (free) %newwin% [[http://www.seedcode.com/cp-app/ste_cat/sqlxfree | SQL explorer]] to help you write the query.

Your events can be linked to "resources" in the Pro calendar; a resource can be anything you need to schedule--people, equipment, rooms--or a mix of those. An event can even be linked to more than one resource.
Resources are shown on the Schedule and Grid views of the calendar, where you can drag events from one resource to another to balance your schedule.

to:
When you [[integration | pasted the calendar into your file]] you should have mapped a field in your events table to our "resource" on the Resources tab of your Source No X layout. On this layout you can pick any field from your events table to represent your "resource": be it a staff member, a piece of equipment, a room-- as long as it is depicted by a field in your events table.
!! What if I have a table I'd like to use for resources?
No problem. The calendar considers its resources from within the variable "$$sc_ResourceList" so all you have to do is populate that variable with the resource names from your table: this is probably most easily done using the List() function from a layout that has a relationship to all your resources.
If you'd like to use this method to assign your resources into the $$sc_ResourceList variable, do so by editing the script "Load Resources" and include something like this:
-> Go to Layout [Some layout with a relationship to all your resources.]
-> Set Variable [$$sc_ResourceList ; List ( Relationship::ResourceName )]
-> Go to Layout [original layout]
Note that you could also loop through your resource records instead of using List(). In either case, be sure to either sort your relationship (if using List) or sort your resource records (if looping) as resources will be displayed in the order they appear in $$sc_ResourceList.

Added lines 12-21:
!! Can I have multiple resources per event?
Yes, support for this is already built into the calendar. You'll probably want to change the Event Details layout, however, formatting the resource field as checkboxes (for example) instead of as a drop down list. Here are some things to keep in mind regarding how multiple resources work:
-> Resources must be in the field mapped on the "resources" tab of your Source No X layout (you probably did this during [[integration]].
-> That mapped field may hold a return separated list of resources (as would be created if you entered resources through a field formatted as check boxes).
-> You can drag an event on the schedule screen from one resource column to another; when you do you'll be swapping out the new resource for the resource you dragged from. Other resources for the event remain intact.
