Resources

Resources are the primary entities for communication within the Call Fabric ecosystem. They are the building blocks of the system, representing the various communication elements that can be used to interact with subscribers.

Manage Resources​

Create​

To create a Resource in your SignalWire Space, click on the My Resources tab in the left-hand navigation menu.

From there, you can select the type of Resource you would like to create by clicking on the + Add button.

If you don't see the My Resources tab, your SignalWire Space is on the Legacy Dashboard. Refer to the Legacy section of this guide for instructions for your Dashboard and information about the migration.

Contexts​

Contexts in Call Fabric define the operational environment or 'scenario' under which Resources operate. They determine how resources are routed and interact with each other.

Every Space has two contexts:

  • The public context exposes the Resource to anyone.
  • The private context exposes the Resource to Subscribers.

Use Contexts to structure and secure your communication flows with granular control over how different elements within the Call Fabric interact and are exposed.

In the Legacy Dashboard​

The Resources experience is not available in the Legacy Dashboard.
