What is a Resource?

Resources can be anything or anyone that is required to render a service. It could refer to a person (team member), a venue (place) or equipment (thing).

Note:

  • A service can't exist without a resource to render the service

    For example, an sports massage needs a resource(s) to render the service. Eg. A massage therapist (team member), room (place) and a massage table (thing)

  • A resource can exist and be booked independently

    For example, a mobile massage table that your team members need when they do a home visit can be booked when necessary

Examples of resources in practice

Typically, resources are associated with a service. In this example, a sports massage needs two resources: Massage Table and Paizlee Perfect.

How to associate resources with a service

Resources must be associated with a services to allow bookings to be made.

Here's how:

  • Go to Settings > Resources

  • Scroll to Services > +Associate with service

  • Select the relevant services from the list

  • Toggle Can be booked to on

  • Save

Bookem does not show the client these complex requirements

Your public booking page will only show available slots where all resources are available for a service. Available slots are determined by the availability of the resources for services.

Resources that are part of groups can be viewed with one click in Resource selection

Groups are useful for large teams. Just click 'Resources' from your calendar to view the drop-down and select the required group. In the example below, there are two groups: Biokineticists and Physiotherapists.
