# Using a resource in a Job

You can use a resource in a Job by adding a context variable in the Context view of the Job.

Information noteNote: Using resources through repository context variables is not supported yet.

## Procedure

1. Create a resource by following the instructions in [Creating a resource](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/8.0/creating-resource).
   ### Example

   In this example, create a resource named AirportInfo to read airport information a local text file.
2. Open the Job in which you want to use the resource.
   ### Example

   In this example, the Job has only two components -- tFileInputDelimited and tLogRow, connected by a Row > Main connection.
3. In the Context view of the Job, add a context variable, named resourceFile in this example, of type Resource.
   ### Example

   ![Context view.](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/studio-user-guide/Resources/images/example_use_resource_in_job.png)
4. Click in the Value field of the context variable, click the button and select the resource in the Select a Resource dialog box.
5. In the Component view of the tFileInputDelimited component, define the component schema according to the structure of the resource content.
6. In File name/Stream field, specify the resource context variable.
   ### Example

   In this example, enter context.resourceFile.

## Results

When executed, the Job will read and display the content of the input file defined in the resource. You can export the Job with the input file as a Job dependency, and deploy it to a different system without copying the file to the target machine.
