Description

Last name

Field for entering the Last name of a person resource. This meta tag can be mapped to the "Last name" person attribute to automatically populate when linking the resource to or creating a resource from an existing user.

First name

Field for entering the Firstt name of a person resource. This meta tag can be mapped to the "First name" person attribute to automatically populate when linking the resource to or creating a resource from an existing user.

Keywords

Keywords for finding objects. Enter as comma separated for multiple words.

Active from

A date can be defined for a resource indicating from when the resource will be available for planning or booking. The date can either be entered manually in the language-dependent date format or selected using the calendar window.

Active until

A date can be defined for a resource indicating until when the resource will be available for planning or booking. Once the date has passed, the resource can no longer be planned or booked. The date can either be entered manually in the language-dependent date format or selected using the calendar window.

Availability

The availability settings enable establishing availability periods for resources. The resource is therefore only available to be booked within the planned intervals; E.g. a fixed number of hours for planning and booking on set days (Mon-Thurs, 9am-5pm).

Location

The "Location" is a functional field that displays a list of available locations that have been created in the "Locations" function. Selecting a location indicates where a course or event will take place and when displayed on the course homepage additional information about the location can be viewed by clicking on the name. Furthermore locations can be assigned to resources and when integrating resources into a course or media, they can be filtered according to the location.

Max. working time

The entry of a maximum number of hours will also establish a further time limit for the resource in addition to the availability. The resource can then only be used within the availability period and for the stated number of hours. Only values in whole numbers can be added.

The resource can be booked multiple times simultaneously

Determines if the resource can be booked multiple times at the same time. This setting allows the user to book resources for several courses or medias at the same time. There is no volume limitation for the course, E.g. the execution of the course requires internet access, which needs to be approved as a resource.

Scheduling notes

This field is to serve as a hint when booking a resource. For example, it comprises comments on the recommended lead time or booking process.

Status

The selection of a status is required to activate or deactivate the resources. This status is independent from the availability periods and the status determines the visibility of the resources in the resource selection screens.

Number

If the resource is, for example, a device with a serial number, this number can be entered here.

Documents

The documents of a resource can be defined at the type level, and changes at the level of individual resources can be made at any time.
