How to view Resource Groups in your Calendar

Resource groups can be utilised for the agenda and shift plan, as well as for the daily and weekly calendar views. Simply select your preferred calendar view, then select the resource group from the resource display. Here are a few handy tips on managing resources from the resource display window:

Use the drag-and-drop to manage the order resources appear in.
Would you like to view a combination of resources from your resource group, plus additional resources? You can. Simply swap in additional resources from your resource list, and/or swap out resources from the group.

You can re-order the resource group, swop out resources, and/or add in other resources from the resource display.

Don't forget the scroll function! You can view unlimited resources from the daily view in the calendar. Here's more info.

How to add Resource Groups to Bookings

When you add a booking to your calendar, or when you search for a booking slot in the fast booking widget, instead of selecting individual resources from the resource dropdown, you can select a resource group.

You can re-order the Resource Group, swop out resources, and/or add in other resources from the Resource Display window.

Once selected, each resource appears individually. Just as in the calendar display, this gives you the flexibility to add in and/or swap out resources.

A tip for calendar bookings: check the availability of your resources before you add the booking.
