Rooms and Equipment in Calendars

Rooms and Equipment allow you to control physical resources used during appointments. When configured, Kyrios automatically reserves rooms and equipment during booking to prevent conflicts and double bookings.

Updated over 2 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

Use Rooms and Equipment if your business:

  • Uses physical rooms (treatment rooms, studios, classrooms)

  • Relies on limited equipment (machines, tools, devices)

  • Needs automatic resource allocation during booking

  • Wants to prevent overbooking of shared resources


What Rooms and Equipment Calendars Do

Rooms and Equipment act as scheduling constraints linked to service calendars.

When a client books an appointment:

  • The system checks staff availability

  • The system checks room capacity

  • The system checks equipment quantity

If any required resource is unavailable, the time slot cannot be booked.


Enable Rooms and Equipment

Rooms and Equipment must be enabled at the account level.

  1. Go to CalendarsSettingsPreferences

  2. Under Services, enable Rooms and Equipments

Once enabled, Rooms and Equipment tabs appear in Calendar Settings.


Create and Manage Rooms

Rooms define physical spaces where services occur.

Create a Room

  1. Go to CalendarsSettingsRooms

  2. Click Create Room

  3. Enter the following:

    • Name: Room identifier (required)

    • Description: Optional internal details

    • Total Capacity: Maximum simultaneous appointments

    • Select calendar: One or more service calendars

  4. Click Create

The room is automatically reserved when appointments are booked on linked calendars.


Create and Manage Equipment

Equipment represents limited physical assets required for services.

Create Equipment

  1. Go to CalendarsSettingsEquipment

  2. Click Create Equipment

  3. Enter the following:

    • Name: Equipment identifier (required)

    • Description: Optional details

    • Total Quantity: Number of units available

    • Out of Service Quantity: Units temporarily unavailable

    • Select calendar: One or more service calendars

  4. Click Create

Only available equipment units can be booked.


How Double-Booking Prevention Works

Kyrios enforces resource availability automatically.

Rules applied during booking:

  • A room cannot exceed its total capacity

  • Equipment cannot exceed available quantity

  • Staff, room, and equipment must all be available

If any required resource is unavailable, the time slot is blocked.


Resource Behavior During Cancellations

When an appointment is canceled or rescheduled:

  • The room is released

  • The equipment is released

  • The time slot becomes available again

No manual cleanup is required.


Viewing Assigned Rooms and Equipment

You can view assigned resources inside the appointment details modal.

This helps:

  • Confirm resource usage

  • Troubleshoot availability issues

  • Audit room and equipment utilization


Important Limitations and Rules

  • A room capacity applies across all linked calendars

  • Equipment availability is shared across linked calendars

  • Resource assignment is automatic, not manual per booking


Best Practices

  • Set accurate room capacity to avoid overbooking

  • Keep equipment out-of-service quantities up to date

  • Link only required calendars to each resource


FAQ

Can I link multiple calendars to a room?

Yes. A single room can be linked to multiple service calendars.

Can a calendar use more than one piece of equipment?

No. Each calendar can be associated with only one equipment item. However, one equipment item can be linked to multiple calendars.

How does Kyrios prevent double bookings?

Kyrios checks staff, room capacity, and equipment availability before confirming any booking.

What happens when equipment is marked out of service?

Out-of-service units are removed from availability and cannot be booked.

Can room capacity vary by service?

No. Room capacity applies globally across all calendars linked to that room.

Where can I see which room or equipment was used?

Open the appointment details modal to view assigned room and equipment.

Are rooms and equipment released if an appointment is canceled?

Yes. Resources are automatically released when an appointment is canceled or rescheduled.
