About resource list item tasks
This filter lets you choose which resource types you want to see.
In many situations you need to edit a resource's data. Items tasks simplify changing
this data. Instead of opening a page and editing the resource, you can right-click
the resource from the appropriate list of resources and select the appropriate
task. Each resource type has a different list of item tasks.
A feature of item tasks is that you can select multiple resources and make changes
to all of them at the same time. For example, to assign a group of assets to a new
cost center, you select the assets and specify the cost center. All assets are changed.
If there is not an item task for what you want to do, you can add one.
