# Setting up Resources

Resources refer to any special equipment or room needed to perform services, such as pedicure chairs, massage rooms, etc. The system keeps track of resource availability, and won’t book an appointment that requires a resource if it's already in use.

**Start by going to:**\
Manage > Advanced Settings > Manage (under Resources)

## Creating a New Resource

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Click "New Resource Group"

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Choose the **# of Resources** available

Choose from the drop-down.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Click Create

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

*Once the Resource is created, you will be brought back to the main Resources page.*

## Assigning Resources to Services

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## Remain on the main Resources page

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Choose the Resource

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
