The "Church Rooms and Equipment" feature of the online calendar is meant to be a conflict notification tool. This is strictly an administrative feature. The calendar does not display the resources that events will use.

For instance, suppose you have an event scheduled between 3:00 and 4:00 for the Fellowship Hall. When someone else tries to schedule an event from 3:30 to 4:30 for the same room, the calendar displays a message notifying him or her that there's a conflict with the room.

The conflict notification feature works when you specify start and end times for events or when you use "all day" events. Also, if you schedule an event to recur on future dates and they conflict with an existing event, you will be notified of the conflict.

So, unless you receive notices that you are trying to schedule resources for the same time, you're not in danger of double-booking the same resource for the same time period.

How does it work?

1. When viewing the calendar in EDIT MODE, click the "Church Rooms & Equipment" link near the top-right of the page.

2. From the pop-up window that appears, add the names of any rooms, transportation, objects or people.

3. Close the window when you're done adding rooms or resources.

4. When adding/editing events that require a certain resource, checkmark the resources needed in the "Church rooms and equipment required for this event" section to the right of the add/edit events window.
