Resource Types

A resource type is a family of bookable things, for example "car" or "meeting room". As an admin you define the types that match your case here, and this is the first step of the booking setup: you create the concept first, then create the actual bookable items.

In the resource type interface you can define any type of resource that aligns to your specific case. Press the add resource type button, or edit an existing one. You will then instantiate the actual bookable cars within the resource section.

Within the creation form you will find:

• General settings section:

  • Label: name of the resource type (e.g. car)

  • Color: hexadecimal color

  • Icon (mdi): choose your icon among the various icons in Material Design Icons. Simply search and click on an icon you like, move to the webfont section, and grab the mdi name such as mdi-projector.

    

  • Default Capacity of the resource: this will help you later when instancing multiple resources. A car usually has 5 seats. You will be able to adjust it for a single resource later.

• Time restrictions section:

  • Booking window (days): How many days ahead from today bookings are allowed. 0 = no limit. This will define how this class of resources
  • Max consecutive days per booking: Longest span a single booking can cover. 0 = no limit.
