Custom Resources FAQs
Learn more about the importance of being able to easily customise your hybrid booking system with the answers to our frequently asked questions.
A custom resource is any resource which does not come as standard in a booking solution. Most solutions will allow you to book the basics like desks or rooms, custom resources give you the power to create any other type of resource.
In askAiB, custom resources can be anything from lockers to gym spaces to tables – or anything else! It’s important if you need custom resources to pick a solution which really does let you fully customise the resource so it is useful and meets your needs.
A custom field is a data point either on a resource record or a booking form which does not come as standard with a booking solution.
In askAiB, these can include plain text fields, checkboxes, picklists, multiselect lists, numeric fields and more. This gives users great power to fully customise the data they are making available to and capturing from users, enriching experiences and reports.
A custom or flexible rule is a rule, usually on a resource or group of resources, which can change dependent on factors such as time, booker or day of the week.
For example, some resources are restricted to certain user groups but those restriction can be released if another user wants to book the space for within 48 hours and it is not yet reserved. This is a great way to drive up office utilisation without compromising the space assignments you want or need to make.
Custom resources can really help to drive value in your workplace, really helping you to utilize every aspect of the office and make these available for people to find and book.
They can also greatly enhance user experiences by making sure every aspect of their in-office needs can be scheduled with ease.
Custom fields allow every organisation using a workplace bookings system to really tailor their experience to meet their particular needs. User adoption and the value the system provides will be greater if the experience of users gives them exactly what they need, and the more data points are available to be captured – the greater the value of insights on estate performance.
It should be easy to create and maintain custom elements. It should not be necessary for development work to be done to support custom elements – it should be possible for administrators to create and maintain these themselves.
In askAiB, all resources can be fully customised directly by users without need from oversight from our support team.
Yes, in askAiB all custom resources and fields are fully reportable in askAiB.
