# Asset Bookings Overview

> Reserve equipment and assets for specific time periods

Asset bookings let staff reserve specific pieces of equipment — projectors, laptops, vehicles, cameras, or any other bookable asset — for a defined time period. Relyant tracks availability and prevents double-booking.
