Booking requests are then either automatically confirmed right away or manually confirmed or rejected after being reviewed by a supervisor. You can delete or modify your own requests.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you request a booking for a resource that has already been requested or booked, you\u2019ll receive a clear <strong>note about the scheduling conflict<\/strong> when you try to make the booking. If a resource is set to allow multiple bookings, you won\u2019t see a warning note when you request that resource. This makes sense, for example, for microphones or beer tent sets, of which there are usually multiple units available. We show you how to perform a transaction for a resource in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/request-and-book-resources\/how-to-create-a-booking-request\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"26752\">\u201cHow do I create a booking request?\u201d<\/a>   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your church manages a lot of resources, it becomes harder to find individual bookings. ChurchTools offers several ways <strong>to filter bookings<\/strong> so you can quickly find what you\u2019re looking for. We\u2019ll show you how to filter the list of bookings on the web in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/resources\/how-to-limit-the-display-in-the-booking-plan\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/churchtools-module\/ressourcen\/wie-filtere-ich-ressourcenbuchungen-im-web\/\">\u201cHow do I filter resource bookings on the web?\u201d<\/a> For the app, check out the article <a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/resources\/how-do-i-filter-resource-bookings-in-the-app\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/churchtools-module\/ressourcen\/wie-filtere-ich-ressourcenbuchungen-in-der-app\/\">\u201cHow do I filter resource bookings in the app?\u201d<\/a>   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re a <strong>resource manager<\/strong>, the Resources module will help you stay on top of things. To make your job easier, you can set up e-mail notifications for booking requests and booking changes. We provide plenty of helpful notes on this task in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/process-and-manage-resource-requests\/how-do-i-process-booking-requests\/\">\u201cHow do I process booking requests?\u201d<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re an <strong>admin<\/strong> for your ChurchTools account, you\u2019ll set up the module to make it available to all users. Since this requires a clear overview and a screen large enough to see everything, you\u2019ll only find these settings on the web. We\u2019ll explain what you need to keep in mind and exactly how to do this in the articles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/prepare-resources\/\">\u201cPreparing Resources\u201d<\/a> category.  <\/p>\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group ct-box ct-box-blue has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1ccdadb1 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-radius:8px;border-left-color:#3e70ce;border-left-width:0.5rem;background-color:#f3f5f7;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0.5rem;margin-right:0.5rem;margin-bottom:0rem;margin-left:0.5rem\"><strong>Hinweis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0rem;margin-right:0.5rem;margin-bottom:0.5rem;margin-left:0.5rem\">ChurchTools provides you with various features that allow you to manage your congregation\u2019s resources. Since on-site processes vary widely, you should determine for your congregation how resources are recorded, whether\u2014and if so, which\u2014people are responsible for this, whether anyone can submit requests, and what information is made available to these individuals in each specific context. <\/p>\n<\/aside>\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group ct-artikel-zum-weiterlesen has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-79a8db7e wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;background-color:#f9fafb;margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:24px;padding-top:32px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:32px;padding-left:24px\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Read more<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/resources\/overview-of-resources\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/churchtools-module\/ressourcen\/uberblick-ressourcen-im-web\/\">Overview of Online Resources<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/resources\/overview-of-resources-in-the-app\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/de\/help\/churchtools-module\/ressourcen\/ueberblick-ressourcen-in-der-app\/\">Overview of Resources in the App<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/request-and-book-resources\/how-to-create-a-booking-request\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"26752\">How to create a booking request?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These resources help your congregation manage rooms, vehicles, projectors, and everything else that needs to be coordinated.
