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.
