Resources are the core pieces of information that drive activity on your QReserve site. A resource can be many things including pieces of equipment, services you offer, consumables, meeting rooms, and even people.
Resource Types
Resources can be one of two primary types:
Reservable: These resources are setup to have a calendar associated with them for reserving or loaning the resource. Having the calendar enabled is optional to allow you to list resources on your site without having them reservable.
Requestable: These resources are setup to have a request queue associated with them but are not linked with a specific date or time on a calendar. Examples of a requestable resource are for when people are requesting services or requesting access to a resource at some undetermined time in the future. A request made on a requestable resource may eventually become a reservation on a reservable resource, but this depends on your workflow.
Requests and reservations can mix only if the requestable resource has the "Can be Added to Reservations" option enabled.
Resource Classes
Resources can be one of many classes:
- Equipment
- Service
- Consumable
- Location
- Person
- Software
- Solution
The class you select has little functional impact on the resource other than helping to distinguish different resources and some classes may come with additional built-in properties. For example, Equipment comes with a built in serial number property that you can fill in while Person does not.
