Rooms, stations and shared resources: avoiding overlaps in the calendar
When several services use the same room or equipment, availability must also consider shared resources.
Quick answer
A calendar based only on staff may not be enough. If two services require the same room, that availability has to be checked too. Resource control prevents invisible overlaps, the kind that often appear only when the customer has already arrived. It also helps the team explain availability limits without relying on memory.
