2. Define Your Resources.
- Think of all the spaces: the main reading area, the hush-hush study zone, and maybe the group chatter room.
- In our case we have chosen a 'Flex desk' template; we can modify this later on in our Resources section.
3. Choose Booking Options.
- In our resources wizard we have prepared some pre-set options for you, we choose a flexible reservation of 1-8 hours.
- You can fine tune this further in your booking options in the Settings menu.
4. Set Lead Time and Buffer Zones.
- Two of the options you'll find in the booking options are to create lead times or free times as buffer zones.
5. Share Your Booking Link.
- Done setting up? Time to go live! Share your link, and let the students reserve their spots.
- Every time a booking is made, you get a ping (or an email, but "ping" sounds cooler), keeping you in the loop.
