Resource Types in OfficeRnD Flex represent your space's different types of services, such as meeting rooms, dedicated desks, hotdesks, and private offices. These Resource Types indicate your resources on the floor plans and help you manage them effectively.
You can use Resource Types to manage the booking mode of your resources and decide whether they can be booked hourly or daily.
Before you start
Default Resource Types
To review and configure Resource Types, go to Settings 
> Platform Modules > Resource Types.
OfficeRnD Flex has six default Resource Types that you can customize to your needs:
Dedicated Desk
Hotdesk
Meeting Room
Office Desk
Private Office
Not Available
You can configure the Resource Types to manage the booking mode of your resources and decide whether they can be booked hourly or daily. For example, if you change the booking mode of a Resource Type to "Time," all resources of this type will be booked only hourly; if you set it to "Date," all resources of this type will be booked only daily.
Note: Having one Resource Type be bookable and assignable is not recommended, as this may cause issues.
Custom Resource Types
OfficeRnD Flex has default Resource Types to meet the needs of most coworking spaces. However, you can also create custom Resource Types to include all your offerings. You can then add custom floor plan Space Types to represent these resources, making them easy to manage from your floor plan.
Here are some examples of custom Resource Types you can create:
Event space
Suite
Parking spot
Medical center
