What Are Buildings and Resources: Quick Introduction
Learn what buildings and calendar resources are.
If you are not sure what calendar resources are, check this quick introduction first.
Also, before you create resources, you should add buildings. Check the previous link to learn what they are, or click this one to see how to add them.
In the Admin console at https://admin.google.com, click the Buildings and resources icon.
Click OPEN in the Resource management section.
Hover over the ( + ) icon in the top left.
Click Add new resource to add resources one at a time, or Bulk upload resources to add many resources at once.
If you’re going to bulk-add resources, click here for the next steps.
To add a single resource, continue to step 5.
First, specify its category and type.
Then place the resource in a building. If you haven’t added any yet, click here to see how.
Give it a name and capacity – the recommended number of people for the resource.
Next select Features. If you haven’t added any yet, click here to see how.
Then define the User-visible description – it will be visible to users in the resource info.
Optionally, add an internal description you can see in the Admin console.
Click ADD RESOURCE.
This is what you see after clicking Add new resource to add a single resource.
If you have many resources to add, uploading them all at once will save you some time and energy. Click Download blank CSV template.
