Assembly of Resources

It is now possible to assemble multiple Resources to a Resource. This helps to create a hierarchy of Resources. Likewise, it is also possible to disassemble the Resources.

Defining State Machines

It is now possible to define a State Machine for the state tracking of a Resource.

You start by creating a State Machine, define various Statuses on the State Machine, and configure transitions on the states. The Resource Class gets a new Attribute - Status to enable you to associate the State Machine. Resource created from such approved Resource Class, holds the State Machine details.
