The resource template offers various templates to help you organize your resources.

note  If you had Asset Manager prior to Destiny 12.5 and created a textbook template, the upgrade to Destiny v12.5 renames the pre-existing template "Textbooks".

Important: If a district has any Destiny Textbook Manager installations, all textbook-related features are hidden in Resource Manager.

To work with resource templates

Important: The Textbooks template has several options and rules that do not apply to other templates. Textbook templates cannot be deleted, moved or duplicated. If you have the Complete Edition, you can create child templates, duplicate child templates and move child templates within the Textbooks branch.
