The resource is the most important item in reservation: this is what people reserve. The bases of reservation are to manage the schedule of users according to rules.
Every resource is associated with a schedule so you can manage reservations. Resources are also used to specify all the rules (parameters) which apply to its use. Finally, it can indicate statistics of use.
You can reserve a resource in the “reservation” section, then in the “manage reservations” and in the “schedule” and “advanced reservation” menus.
Resources can also be reserved in the members' area and via external services (ExtraClub iPhone application, ExtraClub WebApp, reservation centers using API).
Category: The resource category is the same as a type of resource. It is used to arrange resources on the schedule.
Name: This is the name of the resource as it will be displayed on the schedule and on all the interfaces that can be used to make a reservation via Internet, iPhone, etc.lo
Public resource: If you check the “Yes” box, people will be able to see and check the availability of the resource on the schedule via Internet, iPhone, etc.
You can specify if the resource is available to members in the “Parameters” module. The “Public resource” option only means that it will be displayed on the schedule and on the list of available resources.
You can also set a reserved resource to “public” to show members that it is reserved.
