Give Assets their own calendars (or other visual cue)

Big Dog Lynch

Hey guys,

It'd be great to be able to see visually which assets are booked. The workaround seems to be creating separate calendars for each asset...

hi Sabrina Sherman To you have a update for us?

maet Hollenstein: 
Unfortunately, this isn't something that is being prioritized right now. If anything changes, we will post an update here.

We really miss this possibility in our church. Please Elvanto: implement it.

Assets/Calendar Report

Bill Davis

We'd like to print a multiple week calendar that lists assets that are being used for each event.

"Book Assets" button/option in the calendar (apart from events)

Ben Wilson

It would be so useful to have an option to 'book assets' on the admin calendar page without having to create 100s of events. We have roughly 15 weekly meetings at our church, and creating events for each of these (on top of the individual one-off bookings) is far too cumbersome. We currently use an excel spreadsheet to book rooms so we want to go online but don't want to pay for other software.
Additional information required for each booking would include: Reason for booking, person responsible for the booking (booker), date, time and assets used.
(Please note: I believe other requests don't refer to this feature hence warranting the fresh request)

"Asset" Calendar view to make it easier to see when assets are booked

Ralf Eichler

It would be nice to have an "asset (room) view" for the calendar:
In day view you should have the hours on the left from top to bottom
on the top every asset (room) should show as a column. 
The cells show the events were this asset (room) is booked.
In this view you can very easily see which room is free (or booked) for a given time.
This helps when searching fpr a free room for a given time.
Or is there a report we can use for this view?

Any news on this?

Ralf Eichler: Hi there. 
Thanks for reaching out!
When we have news we will update the task accordingly. 
Cheers!

We've been using forms for asset bookings. Since we require approval anyway, we just have the person put in the form what room/asset they need and then the person approving it will go in and schedule it. But if you want it automatically booked without approval, that wouldn't work I guess. It is a little annoying.

Hi,

for our needs, it would be definitely a must have option. Because in today options, it is not easy for the "booking manager" to see which room is available. For us, it would be good to have an "asset room" as a calendar. While this feature is not yet available, we will have to duplicate our calendar locally with the Mac Calendar.

Hey Ralf,

I've just updated the title to make this a bit easier for us to track what it's about.

Ralf Eichler

Here is an example where you can see such a calendar view in the extra system we now use, but we'd like to see this in Elvanto.
You even see the room capacity (persons).
Or here for the upcoming sunday. Please note that services can have booked rooms. We have guest churches that use our building, so the sunday is packed and needs to be planned very carefully. Internal an external events / services are color coded.
