Resources are items people can request for events. They always contain a quantity, and Calendar keeps track of how many resources are available. Create all your resources, so events can be created more easily, adding all the necessary requests to the event.
From the Resources tab, you can see general information about your existing resources and where they've been approved for use.

Enter the date the resource might need to be replaced and the serial number to help with re-ordering.

Ask any necessary questions for the resource to be presented in the best way. These upfront questions help reduce questions for you when the event happens.
Danger
If you no longer use a resource and need to delete it, we recommend you first run a year report to ensure that resource isn't used in the next year. When a resource is deleted, it is deleted from all events, and pending approval requests for the resources will no longer display in notifications.
