Registrer instruments

Within BookitLab, an Instrument is anything that has its own calendar; even a room or a training session can be registered as an Instrument.

Instruments can only be added and their settings edited by core admins.

Creating a New Instrument

  1. Click on INSTRUMENTS in the navigation menu and then Instruments in the submenu.
  2. Click on the + Add Instrument/Asset button at the top right corner INSTRUMENTS in navigation menu is open and Instruments in the submenu is marked as step 1, and + Add Instrument/Asset button at the top right is marked as step 2.
  3. If it is the first instrument in your core, use the CREATE AN INSTRUMENT FROM SCRATCH option at the bottom of the page. Choose an option in the Instrument Availability field from the list and click the Continue button. You will then see a new page where you must first register essential details before adding any additional information or configuring the booking settings, etc.
    • If you want to create an instrument that is very similar to an existing one, the CREATE AN INSTRUMENT BY CLONING AN EXISTING ONE option is useful.
    • You can choose among different Instrument Availability options, but this will not automatically affect the instrument's settings. So initially, you can choose Freely bookable.
  4. Fill out at least the following fields:Shows a page for creating a new instrument with Resource tab containing the following fields: Name, Active toggle (on), Core on the left side. The Submit button is at the bottom. There is also a Cancel button next to the Submit button.

    • CORE field: Select your core from the dropdown menu.
  5. Click on the Submit button at the bottom.

The instrument is now registered in the system and can be edited for further setup.
