Summary of the two methods for creating new resources

You can create new resources in two ways:

Directly from the main panel (Creating a new resource directly from the main panel). This method is useful when you want to create resources without actively working on one particular scheduling environment. Also, note that when you go to the Resource Definition List panel with this method, the Action Codes look like this:
```
   Action Codes: A=Add  D=Delete  X=XREF  /=Menu Bar
```
There is no S=Select, because you are not actively working on any scheduling environment (and therefore there is no place for you to select resources to).

There is a D=Delete action code. This will be important when you are deleting resources, as in Deleting a resource.
While creating or modifying scheduling environments (Creating a new resource while working with a scheduling environment). This method is useful when you want to create resources while in the midst of creating or modifying a scheduling environment. Note that when you go to the Resource Definition List panel with this method, the Action Codes (and the line above it) look like this:
```
   Selection For Scheduling Environment DB2LATE

   Action Codes: A=Add  S=Select  X=XREF  /=Menu Bar
```
The name of scheduling environment that you are currently working with appears on this panel, and there is a S=Select among the action codes. You can select the new resource to be a part of the scheduling environment immediately after creating it.

There is no D=Delete action code, because you cannot delete resources when you come the Resource Definition List panel this way. See Deleting a resource.
