Custom resources work differently from desks for assignments, booking permissions and who can create them. Know these differences before you set up custom resources for your office.
Key differences with custom resources
Booking permissions: admins control who can book, assign and book for others for each custom resource. Set these permissions on the Roles page, on the Resources tab. See Set booking permissions for parking, lockers and custom resources.
Assignment Tool: you cannot assign custom resources with the Assignment Tool, as you can with desks. Manage all assignments for custom resources from the map view in Robin.
Create custom resources permission: this permission controls whether people see the + Custom Resource button in the Layout tool. It controls only this button, not access to the Layout tool. By default, all Robin admins and owners can create custom resources. To control who in your organization can add custom resources, manage this permission on the Roles page.
To get started, see Set up custom resources.
