Combined resources
Resources that are made up of other resources.
A combined resource is one that's made up of 2 or more other resources.
For example, your agency may have 2 rooms next to each other that are separated by a collapsible divider. In the Resource Booking System (RBS), this can be created as 3 separate resources:
Room A: room for 10 paxRoom B: room for 10 paxRoom C: combined room for 20 pax
The third resource, Room C, is the combined resource as it is made up of the other two resources.
When a user makes a booking for the combined resource Room C, both Rooms A and B will not be available for booking at that date and time slot.
Similarly, when a user makes a booking for Room A or Room B, the combined resource Room C will not be available for booking at the same date and time slot.
Creating combined resources
Creating a combined resource is similar to creating any other resource in RBS:
On the side navigation bar, select Resources
Select All resources
Select Create resource
However, do note that:
You must create the individual resources first For example, if
Room Cis made up ofRooms A and B, you must createRooms A and Bas resources in RBS before creatingRoom C.When asked if it's a combined resource, select Yes. You must also select all the resources that make up the combined resource you're creating. This is important as it prevents the double-booking of resources.
Status of combined resources
A combined resource has its own resource status. This means when you set the status of the combined resource to Inactive, it will not be available for booking. This is true even if its individual resources are active.
Here’s an example, when combined resource Room C is made up of Rooms A and B:
| Combined Room C | Room A | Room B | Is Room C available for booking? |
|---|---|---|---|
Active | Active | Active | Yes |
Inactive | Active | Active | No |
However, the availability of a combined resource will also be affected by the status of its individual resources.
| Room A | Room B | Is combined Room C available for booking? |
|---|---|---|
Inactive | Active | No. The status of Room C will also be shown as |
Active | Inactive | No. The status of Room C will also be shown as |
