Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why can’t I assign a default resource to my service in Arborgold? If assigning a default resource isn't available, check your subscription level—Starter plans may restrict this option. Also, ensure you have the required permissions within your organization’s Arborgold account.

2. How do I edit or remove a default resource that’s already assigned? Return to the service’s default resources section, deselect or change the resource as needed, and click save. Your changes will automatically update the default for new jobs using this service.

3. What are the limitations of default resource assignment for different subscriptions? Starter clients can set default crews only. Professional and Enterprise clients have the flexibility to set default crews, equipment, and materials as well. Review your subscription details or contact Arborgold Support if you need to upgrade for advanced resource assignment features.
