What You'll Need

Add a Resource Type

Navigate to Settings/Advanced Settings/Resource types.
Click Add Resource Type.
Describe the resource type (see the table below)
Click Add.

Property Name	Description
Title	The name of the resource type (e.g. "Workshop", "Parking Lot").

Booking Mode (if Bookable has been selected)	Time (bookable by the hour) or Date (booked for a whole day)

Add Resources of this Type to an Office Map

If the custom resource you are creating should be a bookable one, don't forget to include it in an existing booking page or create a new one for it. This way every resource you add to your floors will be visible in the Web Portal.

Your booking pages are located under Settings/Advanced Settings/Employee Apps/Apps Pages at the bottom section called Custom Pages (1).

If you'd like to include your brand new resource type in an existing office map, you can include it via the Resource Types dropdown selector (2):

More info on that as well as creating a brand new booking page for your custom resource can be found here.
