How do Service Resources work?

Service Resources are utilized to assign rooms and/or devices to a service.  When Resources are assigned to a service, the software will validate that a resource is available before scheduling the service. 

For example, if 12 workers can perform a pedicure but there are only 4 pedicure chairs, it would not allow a 5th pedicure to be scheduled at the same time via the appointment book or online booking.  

Express Booking will display a warning message that the resources are all in use, the worker can override and continue booking.

  1. Go to Setup > Setup Resources 
  2. Click + New
  3. Enter a Resource Name
  4. Select the Number Available of the resource
  5. Click Save
  6. Go to Setup > Setup Services
  7. Select Existing Service or + New
  8. Expand the > View Advanced Options
  9. Select Resources Used for Any or All
    1. Any Option will validate that any of the resources are available. 
      1. Example: An eyebrow wax can be performed in either a private room or make up chair. 
    2. All Option will confirm all resources selected are available.
      1. Example: A laser treatment requires both a private room and the laser machine available.
