You can add shared resources (like conference rooms, printers, etc.), specify their location, and allow for the resource(s) to be reserved.

Add or edit your list of resources :

In Admin Portal > Manage Domain > Resources > Add Resources (top right button)

  • Name your resource, select the resource type (room, equipment, others), and assign the resource to the relevant office location.

  • Entering the type and location information will allow users to filtered resources by office and resource type.

  • Enter a description for the resource.

  • Assign a manager.

  • Identify each resource with a picture.

  • Once at least one resource has been added, you'll be able to edit, deactivate, delete, and turn on the "Allow Resource Reservation" option to enable users to reserve resources.

Set up custom admin role (Resource Manager) to manage resources:

In Admin Portal > Users > Admin Roles > Resource Manager

How to Reserve Resources:

  • Users can reserve one or more resources for a time period from compose > create event > reserve resource

  • A resource can only be reserved by a user for a time period if that resource has not already been reserved by anyone else

  • By default the resource picture becomes the event featured image

  • At the end of the reserved time, the resource becomes available for reservation by anyone.

Reserve Resources for a meeting
