Defining Global Resource Rules

Defining global resource rules lets you apply limits to multiple resources if certain conditions are met, such as the type of customer making the booking.

For example, you can create a rule that only lets members book phone booths.

You can also define individual rules that apply to specific resources.

You can add any number of rules to your resources. If multiple rules apply to your resource, you can also define an evaluation order.

We recommend reviewing our best practices to create effective and sustainable rules for your space.

Log in to dashboard.nexudus.com if you aren't already.
Go to Inventory > Resource rules.
Click Add rule.
Select the Location where you'd like to apply the rule.
Select the Resources you'd like to apply the rule to.

Leave this field blank to apply this rule to all resources in your space.

Name your rule.

If this rule applies to a specific group of resources, we recommend including this group in the rule name.

This will help you easily spot rules that apply to this group of resources when determining evaluation order.

Define the Evaluation order.

You'll need to consider both global and individual rules when determining evaluation order.

Global resource rules can't have different evaluation orders for specific resources.

Toggle on This rule is active.
Toggle on Stop the evaluation of other rules if this one is met if you want to ignore rules with a lower evaluation order than this one.

The evaluation order is directly linked to this particular toggle.

For example, a resource has three rules, and you enable this toggle for Rule 2. If Rule 1 is passed, Rule 2 is evaluated. If Rule 2 is passed, Rule 3 is ignored because the toggle blocks it from being evaluated.

You generally shouldn't enable this toggle for the first-ranked rule, as it will block all other rules from being evaluated.

Click on the Conditions tab.
Define the rule's conditions.

You can define the following conditions for rules:

Customer type
Days and times
Events
Courses

Not sure which conditions you want to apply? Check out Resource Rule Conditions.

Click on the Limits tab.
Define the rule's limit.

You can define the following limits for rules:

Custom message
Available times and days
Requests and cancellations
Duration
Members
No-return policies

Not sure which limits you want to apply? Check out Resource Rule Limits.

Custom message can't be combined with other limits in the same rule.

Click the Save Changes button.

All set! Your resource rule is now active. Repeat the process for every rule you'd like to implement.

You can easily disable a rule you no longer use by disabling the This rule is active toggle. Disabling instead of deleting the rule lets you use it again at a later date without creating the same rule from scratch.

You can view a list of all the resource rules in your space under Inventory > Resource rules.
