Calendar for booking equipment?
I have a team that use a shared piece of equipment, and we want to be able to "book" it. I was hoping to use a calendar within our Team page, but I don't want this syncing with everyone's personal calendars because that would confuse our schedules. I tried the Bookings app, but this was more set up for bookings between clients and customers rather than staff with a piece of equipment, any ideas?
Basically we want a simple way to visually check what time slots are available for some equipment, and for it to tell you if you try to book it during someone else's time. Thanks!
- Use an equipment mailbox? That way you will be able to book it just like any room.
