In Sonderplan, Resources are the individual assets, spaces, people, and actions that you can book or track. Every booking refers to one or more Resources, and grouping them logically helps keep your calendars organized and ensures the right items are available to the right teams. You can manage Resources by navigating to Admin → Resources in the sidebar, where you’ll find a list of all existing items and controls to create, edit, or delete them. Sonderplan Admin Resources

​
Types of Resources

​
People

Living and breathing, these “human resources” drive your projects and studio operations. Each person must be created as Contact before being created as a Resource. Once added, you can assign them to Workspaces, set rates, or track their availability just like any other asset.

​
Rooms

The default Resource type, Rooms represent physical spaces you book:
  • Edit Suites (e.g. Edit 1, Edit 2…)
  • Meeting Rooms
  • Studios
  • Any other dedicated space (green rooms, screening rooms, etc.)
Rooms let you define capacity, working hours, and which Workspaces they belong to.

​
Equipment

Any tangible item that can be reserved or that you’d like to track inventory for:
  • Cameras
  • Laptops and workstations
  • Audio recorders, lighting kits
  • Props, rigs, or other production hardware
In a future release, Equipment Resources will include built-in inventory management—purchase dates, warranty details, and stock levels.

​
Action Resources

These are non-physical entries used to represent common staff activities or statuses in your schedule:
  • Sick Leave
  • Holidays
  • Training Sessions
  • Administrative Tasks
Action Resources appear in the Schedule just like any other Resource, allowing you to block off time or record internal activities without tying up physical rooms or equipment.
