;How to use

[[File:~~Resources~~ enable path.png|border|center]]

[[File:Related resources enable path redesigned.png|1200px|border|center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/e/eb/Related_resources_enable_path_redesigned.png]]

:2. Select Manage option or navigate to Manage -> Related resources using left-side menu

[[File:~~Resources~~ settings path.png|border|center]]

[[File:Related resources settings path redesigned.png|1200px|border|center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/5/5d/Related_resources_settings_path_redesigned.png]]

:3. Create resources group(s) depending on your needs using + icon there.

:You can select between:

:*Same number as clients type - with this group all the resources you attach to a service will be required for each booking. If the number of resources is not enough for a certain timeslot, it will not be displayed on the booking site. This type may be useful when some limited equipment is required to perform the service.

:*Only one type - with this group it is possible to accept multiple bookings per timeslot(it will depend on the number of clients set per provider and/or [[Limit Bookings custom feature|limit bookings]] feature settings). It can be used for a room reservation for classes as if, for example, you have one room but two classes so that one class should become unavailable if another one gets a booking. In this case, the clients will continue making bookings for this another class according to the number of spaces you have indicated for it.

:'''Please note!''' It is recommended to use [[Appointment_at_Fixed_Time_custom_feature|Appointmet at fixed time]] feature with this resource type so that the timeslot will always correspond to the reserved room/resource, etc.

::'''Please note!''' It is recommended to use [[Appointment_at_Fixed_Time_custom_feature|Appointmet at fixed time]] feature with this resource type so that the timeslot will always correspond to the reserved room/resource, etc.

:4. It is important to attach resources to services/classes so that they will influence the booking process. Otherwise, the resources will not add any restrictions and will not be used.

[[File:Connect resource to service redesigned.png|1200px|border| center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/8/84/Connect_resource_to_service_redesigned.png]]

:5. If you got more resources of a certain type you can add items to the particular resource group.

[[File:Add ~~one more~~ resource ~~to a~~ group.png|border|center]]

[[File:Add item to the resource group redesigned.png|1200px|border|center|link=https://help.simplybook.me/images/8/85/Add_item_to_the_resource_group_redesigned.png]]

:6. In case you have less items in your inventory than it was created initially you can remove unnecessary ones from the group using mass actions.

:If certain service was connected to resource that was deleted such service may become unavailable on the booking site.

:In this case you need to update its relations towards other resources present in the system.

:7. The clients do not select the resource during the booking process, it is allocated by the system automatically depending on the service and provider selection.

:You can view the resource used for the appointment from the admin side in each booking or in exported .xls file from Reports -> Booking details.
