Resource availability can be applied to all resources in general or to a specific resource. 


Setting your resource availability helps you manage and organize your resource and bookings so you don't have double booking or set them each time from scratch.


If you set resource availability in advance, you can also be sure that you will not get booked or set your appointments during your non-working hours.
