[ms office - 2016] Creating a Bookable Resource

[mahmad]

Hi,

 

Im trying to create a bookable resource (20+ laptops) using O365.

 

I have over 20 laptops in a cart at a school in which I would like staff to be able to book the entire cart of laptops individually.

 

I have not done this before so any suggestions or alternative methods to do this would be helpful.

 

If a shared calendar is the way to go, do I need to first create a resource on O365 admin?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

I have this question too. Is Microsoft Bookings the way to go these days?

Many ways to skin a cat!!!

 

I've created a MS Form that populates a Sharepoint list. A Power Automate then sends an approval email to IT. If approved the list is updated and the user gets a conformation. Another Power Automate checks daily to see it the item has been returned.

We use the sharepoint list/power automate method (Similar to E_G_R2 above) for certain daily bookable items (not it hardware). We've gone down the route of sending a confirmation Teams message to the user.

 

We also use this for anything that's a designated resource in o365

I am planning on rolling this out in september for bookable IT kit.
