Buildings & Resources
Resources and Bookability
How Resources are organized within a building, and what makes one bookable.
A Resource represents something within a building worth tracking on its own — a conference room, a piece of AV equipment, a set of tables.
Structure
- Belongs to a Building — every Resource ties to exactly one building.
- Type — a classification used to group similar resources.
- Parent Resource — resources can nest under another resource, similar to how equipment can nest under other equipment.
- Quantity — for resources you have more than one of, like a set of chairs.
What makes a resource bookable
A Resource is only available for Schedule Requests if it's marked as schedulable. Non-schedulable resources still exist in FMX for organizational purposes — they just won't show up as something you can reserve.
Per-resource rules
A resource can carry its own approval requirements, separate from other resources in the same building — this is what lets one room require sign-off while another doesn't, even though they're both in the same building. See Schedule Request Statuses for how that plays out once a booking is submitted.
