About resources

A resource is a bookable space, such as a personal space for single-occupancy (desk, office, locker, parking bay, etc.) or a meeting space for multiple-occupancy (meeting room, training room, conference space, etc.).
Resource types

A resource is set as one of four resource types to define its use:

  • Meeting space: Multiple-occupancy spaces such as meeting rooms.
  • All-day personal space: Single-occupancy spaces, such as desks, booked in half-day or whole-day slots only (depending on your organization's global configuration).
  • Hourly personal space: Single-occupancy spaces available to book for shorter periods. Useful for shift workers and for booking workspaces in extended business hours. 
  • Delivery point: Central drop-off points for catering services, etc.

Good to know

  • A resource is a bookable personal space, meeting space, or delivery point, and is set as one of four resource types:
    • Create meeting space resources for multiple-occupancy spaces.
    • Create 'all-day' personal space resources for single-occupancy spaces booked in half-day or whole-day slots only (depending on your organization's configuration).
    • Create hourly personal space resources for single-occupancy spaces available to book in increments of 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes, depending on the Group settings.
    • Create delivery point resources for central drop-off points for catering services, etc.
  • A created resource cannot be changed to a different resource type. To change an existing resource to a different type (from an 'all-day' personal space to an hourly booking space, for example), create a new hourly personal space resource for the space and delete the existing resource.
  • A resource is assigned to a location and a floor. Learn more: Locations
  • A resource must be assigned to a group to manage booking rules and permissions. Learn more: Groups
  • A resource can be set as a workspace type, and attributes belonging to the workspace type can be selected for the resource. Learn more: Workspace types

Before you start

Before creating a resource, you must have the location and group already configured. It is also recommended to create attributes and workspace types before creating resources so they can be applied when creating the resource.

Who can create and manage resources

You must be either a Global admin or an admin with 'Resource Management' access to manage resources. Learn more: Administrator access levels
