Resource Calendars

Here, you can find information about resource calendars and how to add them to your Channels and Pages.

What is a Resource Calendar?

In addition to scheduling meetings in Google Calendar, Google Workspace users in your organization can manage resources that people share. The most common example of a resource is a meeting room. Other examples include projectors, company fleet cars, guest offices, recreation equipment or any other resource people might schedule a time to use.

How to create a Resource Calendar in Google Workspace

As a Google Workspace Admin, you can:

1. Go to the Google Workspace Admin console
2. Click on the Menu icon
3. Select Directory
4. And click on Buildings and resources
5. In the Resource management section, click on Open
6. Click on the Add button (it's a plus sign)
7. Enter the resource information. You can choose between the types:
   1. Conference room: Resources used for meetings or conferences that can be as small as a phone room
   2. Other: Resources that aren’t used for meetings. For example, a bicycle or company car
8. Click on Add Resources

How to add a Resource Calendar

There are two different places where you can use Calendars within Happeo.

1. Channel Calendars
2. Calendar Page Widgets
   1. Schedule Widget
   2. Month Widget

Channel Calendar

Resource Calendars can be added to Channel Calendars by going to the:

1. Calendar tab in the Channel Navigation
2. On the right-hand side under Users you will see the Resource Calendars dropdown

Calendar Page Widget

🗒️ Note: Only Resource Calendars available in your Google Workspace directory will appear in the selection list. If a resource is missing, check its visibility and permissions in Google Workspace.

You can add Resource Calendars to both the Schedule and Month Calendar Widgets on Pages V1 and Pages V2 (called “Calendar Widget”). This makes shared resources like meeting rooms visible directly where your team works.

To add a Resource Calendar, first add a Calendar Widget to a section on your page. When configuring the widget, select the Resource Calendar directly from the calendar selection window.

🗒️ Note: Resource Calendars must be selected from the list of available calendars. It is not possible to add a Resource Calendar by pasting its Calendar ID into the widget.
