Create a resources database

Set up the fields, courts, and rooms 360Player schedules against — including splitting one resource into independently bookable sub-resources.

Resources are the fields, courts, gyms, and rooms your club schedules activities into. Set them up once, then assign them whenever you create a booking or publish a schedule.

The model

A resource can stand alone, or you can split it into sub-resources — for example, a full field split into two halves that can be booked independently. Every resource also gets a category (Field, Gym, Meeting room, etc.) and a location, both of which you can create on the fly while adding the resource.

It's simplest to create your top-level resource first, then add its sub-resources underneath it — a sub-resource inherits its parent's category automatically, so you avoid re-parenting resources later.

Create a resource

  1. Go to Scheduling > Resources.

  2. Click Create new and select New resource.

  3. Add a title and an optional description.

  4. To make this a sub-resource, click Select resource under Parent resource and pick the resource it belongs under. Leave it empty to create a standalone (parent) resource.

  5. Choose a resource category and resource location. To add a new one, select Create category or Create location from the dropdown.

  6. Click Save.

Selecting a parent resource locks the category field to match the parent's category.

Split a resource into sub-resources

A common pattern: create one parent resource for the whole space, then add a sub-resource for each bookable section of it.

  • Parent resource — Field A

  • Sub-resources — Field A – Half One, Field A – Half Two

When scheduling, you can then book the whole Field A, or just Half One or Half Two, and 360Player keeps the bookings from conflicting. Add as many sub-resources as your club's fields and rooms need.

Once your resources exist, they're ready to assign — see the bookings article for how to put them on the calendar.
