Managing Resources

Files and Organizations can be added to the system to aid clients in overcoming their barriers to recovery.  Adding new resources to the system begins with adding them to your Local Resource Library.  Clients who are later "linked" to these resources have the ability to rate them using a 5-star scaling system.  If a Local Resource receives an average rating of 4 or more stars the resource will then be available to all system users and will be added to the Global Resource Library.  This means that the resources you add locally have the potential to be utilized by everyone regardless of geographic location.  Global resources can be accessed by anyone and are filterable by Geo Location using Zip Code.
