Usage

Navigate to Form:Resource to start adding resources. Necessary links for data query and filtering will be added automatically.

Main data structure

• Resource URL
• Resource type
• Resource name
• Resource author
  • Resource author info

• Resource category
• Resource keyword

Custom dropdowns

The semantic structure and the data input form can be easily extended to use custom sets of values (dropdowns).

1. First create desired properties of type Text and define allowed values using [[Allows value::...]] built-in property.
2. Then create Project:Resource custom lists and put names of your custom properties there, delimited with a semicolon (;), for example:

MyPropertyName; MyOtherPropertyName
