Administrator's Guide – Facilities
A facility is a permanent feature of a resource (for example, an overhead projector for a meeting room). This page explains how these facilities are categorised and how to use them.
Contents
Standard facilities
These facilities are ones that have already been predefined ready for you to use. You should select all the facilities that your rooms have. Selecting them here makes them available at a lower level to select for each room. For example, not all rooms may have air conditioning, but if any one of your rooms does, then it needs to be ticked here. When you come to set up the individual room, air conditioning will be there as an option to select.
To set up standard facilities:
Select Admin in the top bar.
Select Facilities under the Account Settings section in the side menu.
Select the tick boxes for the Facilities your organisation’s buildings have.
Custom facilities
These facilities are non-standard ones that you can add manually in the same way as above. However, rather than using tick boxes, simply enter them in the text box under the Custom Facilities section. Matrix Booking will allow you to name these custom facilities, but won’t display an icon for them in the availability and room information screens.
Once these facilities are added to your organisation, they can be added to any resource in your location hierarchy.
Warning: take care with the spelling as once created they can’t currently be edited or deleted (you can create another customer facility correctly spelled, but the previous one will still show in the list to administrators).
