# Adding Resource Types

{{variable.ResourceTypes_CAP}} are a required field for all {{variable.resources}} in your inventory. {{variable.ResourceTypes_CAP}} let you apply the same prices to all {{variable.resources}} sharing the same type. {{variable.ResourceTypes_CAP}} act as pricing templates that you can edit and expand through each {{variable.resource}}'s {{variable.Rates_Tab}}. 


*For example, if you have 5 meeting rooms that you want to price in the same way, the easiest way to manage their pricing is to create a single {{variable.resourcetype}} and assign this type to all 5 {{variable.resources}}. If you ever decide to add a new rate, this setup allows you to add the rate once to one of the 5 meeting rooms and see it apply to the other 4 instantly.*

* * *
1. {{snippet.FirstStepProcedure}}
2. {{snippet.InventoryResourceType_PathStep}}
 
2. Click **Add {{variable.resourcetype}}**. 
3. Name your {{variable.resourcetype}}. 
5. {{snippet.Save_Changes}}

* * *
Repeat the process for every other {{variable.resourcetype}} you want to create. Once you have all your {{variable.resourcetype}} ready, you'll need to assign them to your new or existing {{variable.resources}}. 

You can do that by selecting the relevant {{variable.resourcetype}} under the **Resource details** section of any new or existing {{variable.resource}}.
