What it is for

A Resource may name a sub group. The sub group names its resource group, but the resource screen does not check that the two match.

Field	What it means	What to put
Resource Sub Group	The code that identifies the resource sub group. You type it on New, before Create.	Required. A short code; it cannot be changed once the record exists.
Name	The name of the resource sub group, shown next to the code wherever it is picked.	Required.
Resource Group	The resource group it belongs to.	Optional. Pick from the Resource Group list.
Block	Marks the resource sub group as blocked.	Tick or leave clear. The pick lists other screens use for it do not check this tick, so a blocked record can still be picked.

Which fields are required, greyed, hidden or pre-filled for a company is set on Organizational Structure Setting, in its Default Parameters grid, and one user can differ through User Parameter Value.

Save refuses because the code already exists. Codes are unique. Open the existing record from the list instead, or pick another code.
