# Manage Running Modes

:lock: Resource.**ManageRunningModes**

## Overview

This operation is used to manage the Running Modes of the **Resource** with regards to Parent Resources and Sub-Resources.

## Setup

No specific setup is required other than to meet the precondition of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Resource** exists, is Active, and the Processing Type is Process.

## Sequence of Steps

You may need to manage the Running Modes of a **Resource** so that you can select an available Running Mode during Track-In.

!!! info
    Running Mode Sub-Resources are used to determine whether a particular Running Mode is available or not. During Track-In, you can use the Running Mode in association with a Service (that requires a Running Mode) to force the choice of a Running Mode to determine the Recipe.

### Step 1: Running Modes

1. Select an appropriate **Resource**, navigate to the **Running Modes** section and select the **Manage** button.
2. Add or remove **Running Modes** as needed (select :material-plus: to add, and :material-trash-can: to remove).
3. Provide for each item the following information:

      * Name (must be unique).
      * Optionally, a description.
  
4. Select **Next** to continue.
