# Resource Rules
## What are resource rules?
Resource rules are [limits](/v3/docs/resource-limits){target=`_blank`} that are only applied if certain conditions are met, such as the {{variable.customer}} making the booking.
*For example, you can create a rule that only lets {{variable.members}} book your premium {{variable.resources}}.*
## How do resource rules work?
To create a resource rule, you'll need to define both a **condition** and a **limit**. A **condition** triggers a rule, and a **limit** results if that condition is met.
*Let's say you create a rule that {{variable.contacts}} can only making bookings on weekdays. {{variable.Contacts_CAP}} are the **condition** and the reduced availability is the **limit**.*
You can create **individual rules** that apply to a specific resource or **global rules** that apply to multiple resources. If multiple rules apply to the same resource, you can also define an **evaluation order**.
You can define any number of rules for your resources.
## How can I effectively build resource rules?
You should first decide **who** the rule is for and **when** the resource will be available.
*For example, you may want certain {{variable.customers}} to have expanded access to {{variable.resources}} based on their {{variable.plan}} type.*
We also recommend these **best practices** to build sustainable rules for your space:
### Choose Descriptive Names
We recommend including the relevant **group of resources** or the **specific resource** in the rule's name if it doesn't apply to all {{variable.resources}} in your space.
*For example, a rule that applies to **all** your meeting rooms could be named **Meeting Room Availability**, while one that **only** applies to your premium meeting room could be named **Premium Meeting Room Availability**.*

You can see at a glance which rules apply to which {{variable.resources}}, which helps you **avoid conflicting rules** and **determine evaluation order**.
### Avoid Conflicting Rules
When multiple rules apply to the same {{variable.resource}}, plan carefully to ensure the rules **don't conflict with each other**.
*For example, a {{variable.resource}} has an **individual rule** that only lets {{variable.contacts}} book and a **global rule** that only lets {{variable.members}} book. {{variable.Customers_CAP}} simply won't be able to book this resource.*
You can easily view all the rules that apply to a specific {{variable.resource}} and check for conflicts. Simply open the {{variable.resource}} record under {{variable.Resources_Link}} and click on the **Rules** tab.

### Determine Evaluation Order Carefully
When multiple rules apply to the same {{variable.resource}}, you can set an **evaluation order** that determines which rules should be evaluated first.
*Let's say a {{variable.resource}} has two rules. You can set the evaluation order so **Rule 1** is evaluated first. If **Rule 1** is failed, the {{variable.booking}} will be blocked. If **Rule 1** is passed, then **Rule 2** will be evaluated.*
If you'd like a rule to **block the evaluation** of all **lower-ranked rules** when its conditions are met, you can also toggle on **Stop the evaluation of other rules if this one is met**.
{height="" width="500"}
*For example, a {{variable.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.*
If you have both individual and global rules for your resources, carefully consider how you want them evaluated. **Global resource rules** have the **same ranking** for **all resources** they apply to.
*For example, a global {{variable.resource}} rule can't be evaluated **first** for one resource and **second** for a different resource.*
## FAQ
### Can I convert several identical individual rules into one global rule?
Yes, you can easily convert individual rules into a global rule that applies to multiple resources.
### Can I create rules that control the pricing of my resources?
Resource rules can't control pricing. You can control pricing, including dynamic pricing, through [resource rates](/v3/docs/defining-resource-prices){target=`_blank`}.
