Resources (rooms/offices/equipment)
Resource is something that can be booked for the duration of an appointment: a room, hall, chair, device, machine, or workstation. One resource cannot be booked by two appointments at the same time.
When resources are needed
- The location matters: office / hall / booth / studio.
- The equipment matters: device / machine.
- There is a quantity limit: for example, one hall — one appointment at a given time.
When resources are not needed
- It is enough to book only with a staff member.
- You have one office/one place and it is always available.
How to add a resource
- Click + on the “Resources” page.
- Enter a name (required), for example: “Office 1”, “Hall”, “Chair 2”.
- Optionally fill in a description
- Click Save.
Resource status
- Active resource — available for booking.
- Inactive — not included in selection and not available in the calendar.
Staff and resource
Staff-to-resource assignment is configured in the staff profile (who can work with this resource). This is needed for filtering and correct selection during booking.
Resource in slots and appointments
- If you create a slot for a resource, you reserve the available time of a specific resource.
- If a resource is specified in an appointment, the system checks that the resource is free at that time.
Important: a resource is a “unit of occupancy”. If it is occupied, you cannot book it again at the same time.
Note: resource availability and limits depend on the plan (usually — BUSINESS).
