Facility & Resource Booking

Setting Up Resources

1. Go to Resources > Manage and click Add Resource.
2. Enter the resource name (e.g., "Fellowship Hall", "Projector #2", "Church Van").
3. Set availability windows if the resource is only available during certain hours.
4. Optionally require approval from an admin before a booking is confirmed.

Booking a Resource

1. Navigate to Resources > Book and select the resource you need.
2. Choose the date, start time, and end time.
3. Add a note describing the purpose (e.g., "Youth Group Movie Night").
4. Submit the request. If no conflicts exist, the booking is confirmed immediately (or queued for approval if required).

Conflict Detection

SteepleOS prevents double-booking automatically. If someone tries to reserve a room that is already booked during the requested time, they will see a conflict warning with the existing reservation details and suggested alternative times.

Calendar Integration

All resource bookings appear on the main Events > Calendar view with a distinct color so staff can see facility usage at a glance alongside regular church events.
