What are Resource Types?
Resource types are a required field for all the bookable resources in your inventory. Resource types let you apply the same prices to all resources sharing the same type. Resource types act as pricing templates that you can edit and expand through each resource's Rates tab.
Resource types are not resource categories.
Resource types are required fields that affect pricing while resource categories are a optional fields that affect the display order of your resources on the Members Portal.
How Resource Types Work
If you use one of our resource templates to create your resources, we automatically create a matching resource type as you create the resource.
You can then add more prices from the resource's Rates tab.
All the rates added to a resource are also automatically added to any other resource assigned the same resource type.
For example, if you create multiple hot desk banks using our template, each bank will have its own resource type. You can choose to have an individual resource type for each bank or assign one of the types to all of them, depending on how you want to manage your pricing.
If you create a resource from scratch using the Manual entry option, you need to create a resource type before creating the resource itself. Naming your resource types types after your resources makes it easier to match them once you start creating your resources.
Resource Types & Credits
If you want customers to pay for bookings using time credits, you should create time credit types that include the relevant resource types to let Nexudus apply the relevant credit-based pricing.
