# Manage resources at a location

Resources are bookable spaces or equipment that you can attach to a location, class, or service. Every resource is added inside a location. An online location has a virtual resource.

## Add a resource to a location

1. Go to **Admin** > **Settings** > **Locations**.
2. Find the location and open its three-dot actions menu. Choose **Add resource**.
3. Choose the **Type**, then enter a **Name** and a **Capacity**. The type is preselected: the type the location already holds classes in, otherwise the type that suits your business. Under **Capacity**, the window says: "Group size for classes here. A booking always takes the whole resource."
4. Under the hours line, the window shows **Uses location hours**. To give the resource its own hours, click **Change**. The button then reads **Create and set hours**, and the resource's **Availability** tab opens as soon as it is created.
5. For anything else, open **More details**. It holds **Location**, **Indoor or outdoor**, **Add floor, division or area**, **Portable**, **Description** and **Photo**. The window shows only what the type can have. See [Manage Resources for Services](/help-center/appointment-resources#what-each-type-can-have).
6. Click the create button, which names the type, for example **Create room** or **Create court**.

A new resource follows its location's opening hours. See [Manage Resources for Services](/help-center/appointment-resources#manage-resource-availability).

## Create portable resources

Equipment can move between locations. A portable resource still belongs to a location: add it to the location where it is kept.

1. Go to **Admin** > **Settings** > **Locations**.
2. Find the location and open its three-dot actions menu. Choose **Add resource**.
3. Choose **Equipment** (or **Other**) as the **Type**, and enter a **Name** and a **Capacity**.
4. Open **More details** and turn on **Portable**.
5. Click the create button, for example **Create equipment**.

Only **Equipment** and **Other** can be portable. A court, room or other place never is.

## Edit or deactivate a resource

In **Admin** > **Settings** > **Locations**, expand the location. Open the resource's three-dot menu, choose **Edit resource**, then change **Capacity**, **Availability**, **Closures**, or other details and select **Save changes**.

To stop a resource from taking new bookings, open its edit window and use **Deactivate** next to **Active**. It takes effect at once, without **Save changes**. Existing bookings and classes keep working. The same **Deactivate** and **Activate** options are in the resource's actions menu. See [Manage Resources for Services](/help-center/appointment-resources#deactivate-a-resource).

## Resources without a location

If older resources were saved with no location, the list shows a **Without a location** section. It says "Edit each one and choose its location." The section appears only when such resources exist. Open each resource with **Edit resource** and choose its **Location**.

## Archive a resource

Resources are archived from the locations list, so they can be restored later.

1. Go to **Admin** > **Settings** > **Locations**.
2. Find the location and expand it with the arrow next to its name.
3. Open the resource's actions menu.
4. Select **Archive**.
5. In the **Archive room** dialog, click **Archive**.

The archived resource is hidden from booking and can be restored later.
