Booking An Asset

Asset Booking enables you to choose an asset and reserve it for a particular period for a loanee. Upon reserving, the Reservations table will display a record to assist you in monitoring and keep track the booking

Whenever an item is booked, the check-out and reservation calendar will disable the reserved dates. This avoids any possibility of an asset being checked out or booked for a date range that had been reserved previously. Notification alerts are also available when assets are booked.

Only asset which has status in Deployable status type or checked as Requestable can be booked

Check-Out Priority: 4-hour window

Check-Out Priority ensures an efficient process and equitable treatment for all users.

1. Check-Out Priority:

• Bookings within the 4-hour window can be checked out immediately before or after their scheduled time.

2. Check-Out Timing for Later Bookings:

• Assets with booking timing beyond 4 hours cannot be checked out immediately.

• Check-out is allowed when there are exactly 4 hours remaining before the scheduled booking time.

• For example, if the booking is at 8:00 PM, check-out is permitted from 4:00 PM onwards.
