This guide highlights key distinctions about custom resources to help you set them up effectively for your workplace. Understanding these differences will ensure a smoother configuration and management experience.
Key differences with custom resources
Granular permissions for Custom Resources coming soon!
- Assignment Tool: Unlike desks, custom resources cannot be assigned using the Assignment Tool. All assignments for custom resources must be managed directly from the map view within Robin.
- QR codes: Currently, QR codes are only available for desks. This means users won't be able to scan a QR code to book or interact with custom resources.
-
Building-specific creation permissions: If a user role allows for the creation of custom resources, that permission applies across all buildings in your Robin account. It's not possible to restrict the creation of custom resources to a specific building.
- The "Create custom resources" permission controls whether the + Custom Resource button appears in the Layout tool. It's important to note that this permission only affects access to this specific button, not the Layout tool itself. By default, all Robin admins and owners can create custom resources. You can manage this permission on the Roles page, giving you control over who in your organization can add new custom resources.
