Resources are anything you need to manage availability or capacity, such as equipment, instructors, spaces or other limits. When you link resources to your activities and rentals, eola keeps track of what's in use and stops taking bookings once everything is booked, so you never take more bookings than you can deliver. For example, if you have 6 paddleboards shared between your lessons and board hire, eola counts every board booked across both and closes further bookings once all 6 are in use. **Add the Resource Management app** To use resources, first add the Resource Management app to your account. Go to Toolset -\> Apps, find Resource Management and select 'Add to eola'. **Create a resource** To create a resource, go to Toolset -\> Resources. 1. Create a new resource 2. Give the resource a clear name, such as "SUP board, paddle and buoyancy aid" or "Main slope" 3. Enter the maximum number of this resource you have available 4. Save the resource 5. Repeat for each piece of kit or space you'd like eola to manage **Link resources to your activities** To link a resource to an activity, go to Products -\> Activities, find the activity and select 'Edit'. 1. Open the Resources tab 2. Select the resource you want to use and add it 3. Set the number of people each resource can accommodate, for example 1 person per board or 8 people per instructor 4. Click Save and continue Add the same resource to every activity that uses it. This is how eola knows your activities share one pool, for example a full-price session and a members' session running at the same time. **Link resources to your rentals** When you create or edit a rental (Products -\> Rentals -\> Edit), link the resource your customers will be hiring. eola then manages your rental availability automatically as equipment is booked, alongside any activities using the same resource. **Good to know** - Each booking reduces the resources available, and a cancellation returns them to the pool straight away - When all units of a resource are in use, eola stops taking online bookings for anything that uses it at that time - Instructors on your team can be used as resources too, so sessions that need the same instructor aren't booked at the same time - The Resources view in your calendar shows where each resource is being used and when it's next available **Helpful tips:** - Create and link your resources before you start taking bookings, so every booking is counted from the start - Use names your team will recognise in the calendar, such as "SUP board" or "Main slope" - Start with the kit or spaces that most often limit how many people you can take - Not sure how best to set up your resources?
