Reservations

Reservation mode - simple reservations

Reservations are for a specific begin and end period. In this mode, there is no scanning of the item at the beginning and end of a reservation.

Think of this like a conference room reservation. You reserve upfront; but you don’t notify to confirm when you arrive and when you leave.

Or it could be for items that people pickup and you want to avoid the complexity of tracking the picking up and dropping off of the items.

Users reserve equipment online using the app or website or they contact you and you reserve it for them.

Reservation mode is useful if you want to allow upfront reservations of your items but you want to keep your operation simple without scanning of items as they are picked up and returned.

If an Item is available for reservation, it will say so at the bottom. Click on Reserve:
