# Manage your resources

## Learn how to change your resource quantities, swap or remove resources on your activities and rentals, and take kit out of action for a while.

Once your resources are set up, you can update them whenever your kit, team or spaces change. eola applies your changes to every activity and rental using that resource, so the availability your customers see stays accurate.

**Change how many of a resource you have**

Go to Toolset -\> Resources, open the resource and update the maximum number in its settings, then save your changes.

Your new number applies to every activity and rental linked to that resource. If you only want to change capacity for one activity, update that activity instead.

**Swap or remove a resource on an activity**

Go to Products -\> Activities, find the activity and select 'Edit', then open the Resources tab.

1. To swap a resource, remove the current one and add the one you'd like to use instead
2. To change how many people each resource can accommodate, update the number next to that resource
3. Click Save and continue

If you remove all resources from an activity, its capacity is set by the activity's maximum capacity, so check that matches the number of people you can take.

**Swap or remove a resource on a rental**

Go to Products -\> Rentals, find the rental and select 'Edit', then update the resource linked to it. Save your changes and your rental availability will update straight away.

**Take a resource out of action for a while**

If kit is being serviced or a space isn't available, add a note to your calendar and assign the resource to it. For longer periods, set the note to repeat. Customers can't book the resource during the note's time, for activities or rentals, and everything is back to normal once the note ends.

This keeps your activities and resource settings in place, so there's nothing to rebuild when the kit is back.

**Stop an instructor being used as a resource**

If an instructor shouldn't be counted as available for your sessions, go to Toolset -\> Team, select the instructor, then go to Settings and select 'Disable as resource'.

**Stop using a resource altogether**

If you no longer use a resource, remove it from each activity and rental that uses it, then check their capacity is still right. If the resource is only unavailable for a while, a calendar note is the better option.

**Good to know**

- You can still add a booking manually if you choose to go over capacity. Your calendar will highlight the session in red so your team can see it at a glance
- If you link a resource to an activity that already has bookings, contact our team and we'll make sure those bookings are counted

**Helpful tips:**

- To give one session's resources to another running at the same time, open the slot in your calendar and select 'Disable further bookings'
- If only one of several sessions can run at a time, create a resource with a maximum of 1, such as "Session blocker", and add it to each session. As soon as one is booked, the others close automatically
- Use clear note names like "Bikes in for service" so your team knows why a resource is unavailable
- Review your resources at the start of each season and whenever you add new kit or retire old equipment
