Each requester is responsible for ensuring that the resource is not already reserved (e.g., for a projector). The requester receives confirmation of the booking via e-mail, and the administrator is notified that the resource has been reserved.   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Multiple Bookings<\/strong>: You can configure whether a resource can be used for multiple transactions in the master data.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Multiple bookings<\/strong> are intended, for example, for performing microphones\u2014of which there are several available, but which are listed as a single resource. Or for requests from staff members in larger congregations or conferences who aren\u2019t exactly sure what resources are available on-site. For example, an office assistant can then take over the specific planning. The staff member who made the request will then automatically receive an e-mail regarding the specific resource.     <br \/>It makes sense to create resources here that are general in nature and will later be planned in detail by someone in the office. For example, a resource such as \u201cRoom 10\u202650 people,\u201d \u201cRoom 51\u2026100 people,\u201d or \u201cProjector.\u201d     <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple bookings<\/strong> therefore do not cause a conflict. There is a separate permission required to request multiple bookings. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resource Type<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resources can be categorized by type to provide a better overview.  <em>For Admins: The sort key allows you to sort the entries; entries with lower numbers appear first.<\/em><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Status<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A booking request for a resource can go through various statuses. For a standard resource that does not receive automatic confirmation, the booking is assigned the status &#8220;Awaiting Confirmation.&#8221; Once it is confirmed by the administrator, it is marked as &#8220;Confirmed,&#8221; or &#8220;Rejected&#8221; if it is not approved.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a booking needs to be deleted, only the admin can do so. The delete function is located under &#8220;History.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-17.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"911\" height=\"862\" src=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-17.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-17.png 911w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-17-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-17-768x727.png 768w, https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/image-17-360x341.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 911px) 100vw, 911px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Resource A resource is an item or space that can be rented or used.
