At the top of the Data detailed view, you will find the so-called Resource category. The resource category is a tool for structuring the various resources and thus making it possible to find your way among them in a simpler way. The resource categories can be divided into several levels. Up to four levels are supported by the Catalogue of cadett ELSA. When cadett ELSA is delivered, a complete example of a resource category division tree is included, but it is entirely possible for the user to supplement this division or to replace it with his or her own.

 

An example of a resource category is Protective equipment. The resource category F for Protective equipment is in turn divided into sub-categories in lower levels. In the second level you can for example find circuit breakers (Safety cut-out). When it comes to circuit breakers, you have several different types of them such as H fuses, L fuses, and so on.

 

The resource category is displayed partly with its letter code and partly with a descriptive text, like for instance FB for Protective equipment / Bi-metal releases, as shown in the figure above.

 

With a single click in the field, you open a dialogue box for selection of an existing Resource Category, as shown in the figure below.

 

 

Adding new Resource Categories or editing existing ones, is described in the Edit resource categories topic.
