A resource event is a block of time that a resource spends on a task.

Each time a resource manager makes an allocation, the system creates one or more resource
events for that resource. The resource events appear on the user's personal calendar.

When a booking changes from soft to hard, resource events are created for the resource.
* **[Resource events and schedules](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/TW7sks~ivmgv8gHRzjQwHg)**   
  Schedules classify time as work time and non-work time and can be associated with resources and with projects.
* **[Resource event modifications](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/toCLCnCBlumHHqmlZtWqrw)**   
  Resource events that aren't part of a resource plan can be modified.
* **[Modify a self-created resource event](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/lin9uGYFj~Y_ERpz1~zUCg)**   
  You can modify a resource event that you created.
* **[Change the resource event color](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/EeQKLV_JG8i1ahFxYeZfNQ)**   
  Each event type is represented with a color. PPS admin can change the colors at any time.
