Asset Booking lets you select an asset and reserve it for a specific period for a loanee. Once reserved, the Reservations table displays a record so you can monitor and track the booking.
Whenever an asset is booked, the check-out and reservation calendar disables the reserved dates — preventing double-bookings for an already-reserved date range. Notification alerts are also sent when assets are booked.
Only assets with a Deployable status type or marked as Requestable can be booked.

Other ways to book assets

Check-Out Priority: 4-hour window
The check-out priority rule ensures an efficient process and fair treatment for all users.
Priority check-out (within 4 hours)
Assets with a booking scheduled within the next 4 hours receive priority for check-out. These bookings can be checked out immediately — either before or after their scheduled time.
Scheduled check-out (beyond 4 hours)
Assets with a booking more than 4 hours away cannot be checked out immediately. Check-out becomes available when exactly 4 hours remain before the scheduled booking time.
For example, if the booking starts at 8:00 PM, check-out is permitted from 4:00 PM onwards.
