Resources
Resources are the bookable things in Metrognome—studios, equipment, storage units, parking spots, and more. This guide covers finding, creating, and managing resources.
Finding Resources
Go to Staff → Resources to see all resources across locations.
Quick search: Press ⌘K and type a resource name to jump directly to it.
From the list:
- Use the search bar to find by name
- Use filters to narrow down:
- Status — Active, Inactive, Maintenance, Coming Soon
- Type — Hourly studios, monthly studios, equipment, etc.
- Location — Filter to a specific facility
Click any row to open the resource detail page.
Resource Types
Resources fall into two billing categories:
Hourly Resources
Booked by the hour with per-session pricing. These integrate with Acuity for scheduling.
- Hourly Studios — Rehearsal rooms
- Equipment — Rentable gear
- Tours — Facility walkthrough slots
Monthly Resources
Ongoing subscriptions billed monthly through Stripe.
- Monthly Studios — Private lockout spaces
- Storage — Storage units
- Parking — Parking spaces
- Mailbox — Mailbox service
- Amenity — Shared amenity access
Special Types
- Entry — Access points, no pricing (used for door access configuration)
Creating a Resource
Go to Staff → Resources and click Add.
Required Fields
- Name — Clear, descriptive name customers will see
- Type — Cannot be changed after creation, so choose carefully
- Location — Which facility this resource belongs to
- Status — Whether it's available for booking
Pricing
How you set pricing depends on the resource type:
For hourly resources:
- Set an hourly price override for a fixed rate, or
- Let it calculate from dimensions using the location's per-square-foot rate
For monthly resources:
- Set a monthly price override for a fixed rate, or
- Let it calculate from dimensions using the location's per-square-foot rate
Optional Fields
- Description — Shown to customers on the booking page
- Notes — Internal notes only staff can see
- Floor / Wing — Physical location within the facility
- Dimensions — Width, length, height in feet (used for pricing calculation)
- Max Occupancy — Capacity limit
- Acuity Calendar ID — Required for hourly resources to enable scheduling
Editing a Resource
Click any resource to open its detail page. You can change most fields, but resource type cannot be changed after creation.
Sections
Details — Name, status, description, internal notes
Physical — Floor, wing, dimensions, occupancy
Pricing — Price overrides and peak hour settings
Images — Add, remove, and reorder photos
Groups — Assign to resource groups (for organizing by wing, floor, etc.)
Reservations — View all bookings for this resource (read-only)
System — ID, timestamps, and delete option
Changing Prices
Prices live on resources. Open any resource and go to the Pricing tab to adjust rates.
How Pricing Works
There are two ways to set prices:
Calculated pricing — The system multiplies the resource's dimensions (width × length) by a rate per square foot. Change the rate to adjust all similarly-sized resources at once.
Price override — Set a specific dollar amount that ignores the calculated price. Use this when you want a resource to cost exactly a certain amount.
Card vs Bank Account Pricing
Every resource shows two prices:
- Card price — What customers pay with credit/debit cards
- Bank account price — A discounted rate for ACH payments
The bank account discount is automatic—you only need to set the base price.
Peak Pricing (Hourly Only)
For hourly resources, you can charge more during busy times:
- Set a peak multiplier (e.g., 1.5 for 50% more)
- Set peak hours start and end times (shown in local time)
The system automatically applies the higher rate during peak hours. You'll see both regular and peak prices in the pricing summary at the bottom of the form.
Price Updates
When you save a price change, it takes effect immediately. The public-facing pages update automatically—customers will see the new price right away.
Status Meanings
| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Active | Available for booking, visible to customers |
| Inactive | Not available, hidden from public |
| Maintenance | Temporarily unavailable, shown with status indicator |
| Coming Soon | Not yet available but visible on public pages |
Deleting a Resource
Resources with existing reservations cannot be deleted. You'll need to cancel or reassign those reservations first.
To delete:
- Open the resource detail page
- Scroll to the System section
- Click Delete Resource and confirm
Deletion is soft—the data is preserved but the resource is hidden.
Managing Images
On the resource detail page, scroll to the Images section.
- Add images — Upload photos of the space
- Reorder — Drag to change display order
- Set cover — The first image becomes the cover photo shown in listings
- Remove — Delete images you no longer need
Resource Groups
Resources can belong to groups that organize them by physical location (wing, floor, section) or logical grouping. This helps with:
- Filtering on the public site
- Organizing the staff dashboard
- Configuring access gates
Assign groups from the Groups section on the resource detail page.
