Short term allocations can be used where a resource might be used and isn't available to be allocated to an event over that time.
Some examples of this might be for:
- Maintenance (eg. if a vehicle is broken down, or is being serviced)
- Being assigned for someone to use over a number of days (a short-term basis)
- When it has been assigned for another activity or task other than an event which is added to the system
To add in short-term allocations, first view the resource and then click 'Add short-term allocation'. From there, complete the required information, including the dates & times it will be unavailable for, as well as who the contact person during that time.
