Events display a list of resources for collaborators to access and quickly distribute as needed.
Important - Put Everything You Need in One Event - You Cannot Link Events Together
Rave Collaborate lets you put unlimited rules, task groups, tasks, and resources in each event, allowing you to fully input everything your response needs into one event entity.

The Add a Resource window opens.
-
Choose what kind of resource you want to add.
You can upload a New Document, link to a New URL, or add an Existing Resource used on another event.
