Resource Planner

Which board is free, and when?

See equipment availability down to the hour. Plan the day, check an individual item’s week and keep longer bookings in view across the season.

  • Manage bookings from the schedule

One board is rented out this morning and free again this afternoon. Another is booked for several days. The Resource Planner puts those time windows against the actual equipment, so your team can answer the next enquiry with a look at the schedule.

Maintain the equipment records behind your resources in Inventory & Stock. Availability and bookings belong in the planner, handover and return in the Rental Board, and product sales in Shop & E-Commerce.

Plan the day down to the hour.

See free time windows for each item

The day view gives each item its own column, with hours running from top to bottom. Compare start times, end times and the free hours between bookings side by side.

Tell bookings and blocks apart

Rentals, equipment assignments and blocks feed into the overview. Scheduled turnaround periods and times outside operating hours are marked separately, helping you identify windows for a new booking.

One item. Its whole week.

Select a board, kite or another item and see its bookings across the week. The hours remain visible, even when short rentals and longer bookings alternate.

Click an entry to open its available actions. For a closer look, jump from the week to the relevant day while keeping the selected item in focus.

Keep the season in view.

Switch to the planner for multi-day rentals and planning ahead. Equipment runs down the rows, days across the columns. Booking bars show which item is occupied over which dates.

Scroll through the months, including across month and year boundaries. This longer-range overview works in days; day and week views show the precise timings within each day.

Your team belongs in the plan too.

Switch from equipment to instructors. Each person has a row showing their course teams and event assignments. The weekly planner shows each day’s assignments; the monthly planner follows them over longer periods.

Filter by teams such as kite or wingfoil to focus on the activity you need. For a combined overview of team availability, course bookings and events, the Calendar complements your resource planning.

Turn availability into a booking.

Create from the schedule

Click a free time window or drag to select a period. Start a booking or block the equipment for those dates directly from your selection.

Move bookings and adjust their duration

In the day view and planner, drag editable booking bars to move them, or use their edges to shorten or extend them. Booking actions open the details so you can adjust the booking.

From the timeline to the booking

The entry preview shows status, dates, equipment and participants. Open the full booking to see its products, payment balance and activity history. Your schedule stays connected to the rental it represents.

Connected to your rental workflow

The Resource Planner shows when equipment is available. The Rental Board handles handover, return and condition records. Rooms, pitches and storage boxes have their own Accommodation Scheduler.

Frequently asked questions

01

How is the Resource Planner different from the Rental Board?

+

The Resource Planner schedules time windows and shows the occupancy of individual items. The Rental Board organises rental workflows by status and supports handover and return.

02

Can I edit bookings in every view?

+

The day view, week view and planner provide booking actions on click. Directly dragging and resizing bars is supported in the day view and planner. Available actions depend on the booking and your team’s permissions.

03

Can I see instructors in the Resource Planner too?

+

Yes. Switch between equipment and instructors. The team view shows course teams and event assignments for each person, in the weekly planner or across several months.

04

Does the seasonal planner show individual hours too?

+

The continuous monthly timeline gives an overview at day level. Use the day view or an item’s week view for precise start and end times.
