# Resource Availability

In Sesami, **availability belongs to resources** (not just “team members”). A resource can be:

* **Team member** (staff)
* **Room**
* **Chair / station**
* **Equipment / machinery**
* Any other capacity you need to schedule

> Note: In Sesami, **team members are a Resource type** (Resources can also be rooms, equipment, etc.).

## Set availability for a resource (team member, room, equipment, …)

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open Resources

Open **Sesami → Resources**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select the resource

Select the resource you want to edit\
(Example: a resource with type **Team member**).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Go to Availability

Go to the **Availability** section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Edit availability

Click a date (or day) to open **Edit Availability**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add time intervals

Add time intervals (example: `8:00 am – 11:00 am`).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Apply to other days (optional)

Use **Apply to…** to copy the same schedule to other days (optional).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save changes

Click **Save** (top-right) when you’re done.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Tips

* If you schedule *rooms* or *equipment* as resources, give them realistic availability windows so the calendar doesn’t offer impossible slots.
* If you use Google Calendar sync for team members, you can block time by creating “Busy” events (see the “Block off dates or times” guide).
