The kit is booked in a different room

The class has a room. The projector, cart or lab kit was booked on a separate list — or not at all. Someone walks the equipment to the wrong door, or two classes think they have the same screen.

Why this happens

Equipment is a separate list

Rooms on one list, kit on another — they diverge.

Equipment is a resource beside rooms.

How Offision equipment booking works

Two bookings, two conflicts

Two calendars — room free, projector not.

Room and kit save on one booking.

How multiple resources on one booking work

The kit does not belong to a room

Kit not tied to the room — free-for-all booking.

Equipment offered with the room it lives in.

How equipment location works

The kit never checks in

Class checks in; the cart never does.

Check-in on kit too — unused gear releases.

Impact

Who pays for this today

The same problem costs each group something different — and they rarely compare notes.

Impact

Teachers

They walk into a room that has no screen, or find the cart already signed out to another class.

Impact

Campus administrators

They run a second diary for kit, and still get the call when the two lists disagree.

Impact

IT and AV teams

They cannot tell which equipment is actually in use, because the kit booking never checked in.

Common questions

Can we book a room and equipment in one go?

Yes. Create the room and the equipment, then turn on booking multiple resources at once on the policy. The teacher picks both on the same form.

Can a projector be reserved for a room it does not belong to?

Set the equipment's location to the room it lives in. The form then offers it with that room, instead of as a campus-wide item.

What happens if nobody collects the cart?

If check-in is on, unused equipment can release after the grace period — the same no-show path as an empty room.
