Your resources

Every row on Settings, Resources: what it changes, its default, and who it is for.

A resource is anything that can be booked: a hall, a treatment room, a desk, a parking bay, the kitchen. Each gets its own row in the diary and cannot be double-booked. Prices are not set here; a resource is just the thing, and what it costs lives on the rate card.

Resources

Resources

What it does
The things people book: halls, rooms, desks, bays, the kitchen. Each one has its own row in the diary and can only be booked by one person at a time. Deactivating one hides it from the booking screen and keeps its history.
Default
Whatever you added in the setup wizard.
For
Every venue needs at least one.
For example
  • A therapy practice. Room one, room two, the group room.
  • A village hall. Main hall, committee room, kitchen, car park.
  • A co-working hub. Twenty desks, two meeting rooms, a podcast booth.

Add several alike

What it does
Add a numbered run of identical things in one go. Type the shared name and how many, and I number them from the next free number. Several with the same name fold into one row on this page.
Default
Numbering carries on from the highest number you already have.
For
Desks, bays, pitches: identical things that get numbered.
Leave it alone if
Your rooms all have their own names.
For example
  • A village hall. Bay one to bay eight for the car park.
  • A co-working hub. Desk one to desk fifteen in one go.

Resource tags

What it does
Labels for what a room has, such as a projector or step-free access. They show beside the room when someone chooses where to book. Nothing else changes.
Default
None.
For
Venues where the rooms differ in ways a booker needs to know.
Leave it alone if
Everyone already knows the rooms.
For example
  • A therapy practice. Couples room, treatment table.
  • A village hall. Hearing loop, sprung floor, step-free access.
  • A co-working hub. Standing desk, two screens, quiet zone.
