A resource refers to a room or a piece of equipment required in order to provide a particular service at the salon/clinic. (e.g. tanning bed, massage room or laser machine).

Resources are separate to each location and are assigned to services or courses through categories.
Resources categories are lists of resources that can be assigned to services or courses.

A resource can be part of more than one category.
Only one resource category can be assigned to a particular service or course.

For each service or course, you can also specify one resource category for the online booking application.
Online resource categories are checked automatically for conflicts and assigned to appointments.

The resources categories are created from the Admin Area / “RESOURCES CATEGORIES” page.

The resource categories are assigned from each service’s or course’s own add/edit pages.
Please refer to the corresponding sections of the User Guide on how to add/edit services or courses.
