Resource

The "Resource" application template provides you with a calendar where all portal users with the appropriate permissions ("User" role) can book resources such as meeting rooms or company vehicles.

Portal users with the "Manager" role can create resources, categories and calendar days. Categories must be assigned to the date when booking a resource. Using and assigning categories makes it easier to search for and find appointments. Category names are free choice. These are color-coded in the resource calendar.
