Property

Description

To

This property specifies the resource to whom the ResourceSet action will be assigned.

SetVariable

This property allows the user to select the variable to which the resource properties will be set. The variables will have to be created in the properties for the Start action. The variables can be one of the three types - String, Array or Resource. String variables take one UserID at a time, while Arrays take in a number of UserIDs pointing to different resources. Resource variables will take the complete resource properties.
