Can Bookings be used for booking equipment?
Victoraj4 I also miss the option to "Events on personal calendar affect availability" - do you know why or how did you get around it?
Hi JonBjo !
We converted the equipment mailbox to a room. I don't remember if we converted it to a user first and then a room. But this link was helpful.

After it was converted to a room calendar, we had to remove the staff in bookings and add it again as staff and the to the services. This was not a pleasant journey because we had to assign every appointment that existed in the booking page to the staff manually.
It can be good to know that when you add the staff again on an appointment, the staff might look occupied. But it's the appointment before you converted it, that's still there. There is no problem to add the appointment to de staff anyway, the double-booking will be updated to one after 24h.
I hope this is helpfull and my english make sense !
