A resource group is a collection of resources (files and/or folders) defined by a set of one or more Ant-style file patterns.

About Resource Group Performance
The performance of DTP API when resource groups are used depends on the file patterns in the resource groups. Performance is most heavily influenced by how the database engine matches the pattern of the string specified. More complex file patterns are slower because they require more complex algorithms for matching strings. See Using File Patterns in DTP for more information.
Adding Resource Groups
- Choose Report Center Settings from the settings (gear icon) menu.
- Click Projects in the Administration tab and click on a project.
- In the Resource Groups section, click Create Resource Group and enter a name.
- Specify include and exclude patterns for the resource group and click Confirm. You can specify multiple patterns per resource group.
You can define resource groups using the DTP REST API (see Using DTP REST APIs).
Removing Resource Groups from a Project
Click the trash icon and confirm that you want to delete the resource group when prompted.
Deleting a resource group from a project deletes the association between the resource group and the project. It does not delete the resource group from your system. To delete a resource group from DTP, you must use the DTP REST API.
Editing Resource Groups
Click on the resource group name and make any changes in the Modify Resource Group dialog.
