Creating and Managing Resources - Overview Articles
Resources can be created and managed in Brinkster Cloud Services using the appropriate Widget. The process depends on the resource you want to create or manage, and also on your page and widget layout. The following pages provide instructions on how to create and manage resources based on the default page and widget layout.

The widgets that allow you to create and manage resources are located on the resources page. To show the resources page, click the Resources link in the top right hand corner of the screen.

When you create or manage a resource using a widget, a new dialog box is displayed. This contains the information and controls relevant to the resource.

From the dialog box, you can:

  • Configure the resource as required.
  • Request the creation of the resource.

Most resource requests are near instant, however Brinkster Cloud Services uses an asynchronous job system to ensure responsiveness with the User Interface. This may mean that you will occasionally see some Jobs take a few seconds to create resources.
 
The following is a list of the different resources. See the relevant article for instructions on how to create and manage the resources.
