Creating Resources

This page walks through creating and configuring resources.

During Onboarding

Resources are created during the Configure Resources step of onboarding. You'll see a table where you can add resources and set their availability.

After Onboarding

To create a resource:

1. Go to Settings → Resources section
2. Click the + Add button
3. Fill in the resource details
4. Save

Tip: Use the command palette (Cmd+K or Ctrl+K) and search for "Add Resource" to open the create dialogue directly.

Resource Details

When creating a resource, you'll configure:

Name

• Name - Display name shown in calendars and bookings (e.g., "Consultation Room 1")

Resource Kind

Choose the category for this resource:

• Room - Consultation rooms or treatment spaces
• User - Pharmacists or staff members
• Device - Equipment or facilities

Resource kinds with type "User" can be linked to a user account in Light, indicating the resource represents that person.

Colour and Icon

Assign a colour for display in calendars and booking interfaces. Click the colour square to choose from the palette.

Availability Mode

Choose how the resource's availability is determined:

• Follow Site - Use your site's trading hours
• Custom - Define a specific schedule for this resource

See Availability Modes for details on when to use each option.

Constrained by Site Hours

By default, resources are constrained by your site's trading hours. You can opt out individual resources from this constraint if needed (e.g., for virtual consultations outside normal hours).

Updating Resources

To update a resource:

1. Go to Settings → Resources
2. Click on the resource in the list
3. Click the Edit button
4. Make your changes and save

Deleting Resources

To delete a resource:

1. Click on the resource in the list
2. Click the Delete button
3. Confirm the deletion

Bookings connected to a resource that is deleted will be orphaned from that resource, but still remain.

Linking Resources to Service Offerings

Resources are linked to service offerings from the service offering configuration page. See the Service Offerings section for details on linking resources to service offerings.
