Coworks has 3 different types of bookable resources, and they have a couple of key differences.

Rooms are the general conference room type of bookable resource. These are the rooms that are available, in most cases, for members to book freely, assuming they have appropriate credits and permissions.

✅ Visible in the member mobile app

✅ Bookable by managers through the manager dashboard

✅ Can set per-member permissions

✅ Useable as locations for events

Spaces are usually event spaces or big areas that you don't want members to be able to book privately. These are locations that managers can book, however. Some common types of spaces are very large rooms, lofts, and auditoriums where you would have speakers. The idea for spaces is that managers can still have a conflict management system, without having members booking those spaces when it is undesired.

✅ Bookable by managers through the manager dashboard

❌ Can't set per-member permissions (because members can't book spaces)

✅ Useable as locations for events

The Equipment feature is not enabled by default (see how to enable this feature here) and is commonly used for things like bicycles, 3D printers, and microscopes. Equipment sometimes have access requirements like proper training and other certifications that grant usage to members. You can control permissions on equipment, just like rooms.
