Working with asset pools and assets
Back to top
Once you have added one or more asset pools, they are listed on the Assets page along with the following information and options...
Viewing asset pool names
Back to topThe name of your asset pool (e.g. Single Kayak, Kayak Paddles -200cm, or Life Jackets - Small).
Viewing asset categories
Back to topThe category for your asset pool.
Asset categories (e.g. Kayaks, Kayak Paddles, Life Jackets), allow you to generally classify your asset pools (e.g. Mountain Bike, Single Kayak, Shuttle Bus, Kayak Paddles - 200cm, Life Jacket - Small), which helps to organize your assets and minimize the complexity of applying assets to products.
 |
Manage your asset categories centrally with the Categories list (Inventory > Categories > Assets). Learn more here... |
Viewing quantity
Back to topThe number of assets included in this asset pool, for example, 10 Mountain Bikes, 5 Single Kayaks, 4 Shuttle Buses, 25 Kayak Paddles, or 25 Life Jackets.
Products can then be configured based on the quantity of assets available so that they are priced per asset and private to each booking.
For example, a Guest can book one kayak for private use.
Viewing capacity
Back to topSpecify the capacity of an asset in the asset pool. This represents the total capacity of the assets, considering how many seats or spaces the asset can support.
Assets with a capacity of greater than one can support more than one Guest booking, for example, Shuttle Buses (10) as opposed to single-rider Mountain Bikes (1).
Products can then be configured based on the capacity of each asset so that they are priced per seat, and the assets are shared across bookings.
For example, a shuttle bus has a total capacity of 15 people. 15 different people can each book a seat on the bus for a wine tour.
Viewing totals
Back to topTotal asset availability based on quantity of assets multiplied by the capacity of each of those assets within the asset pool. This number is calculated based on quantity and capacity, so the total is read-only.
Editing asset pools
