# Asset bookings overview

> Reserve equipment and other assets for a set time

Asset bookings let you reserve equipment, such as projectors, laptops, cameras, or vehicles, for a set time. Relyant checks each request against existing bookings and your booking rules, and can hold new bookings for approval.

To open asset bookings, go to the sidebar and, under **Modules**, click **Asset Booking**, then click **Bookings**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Only bookable assets can be reserved. To make an asset bookable, turn on **Available for Booking** on the asset. See [Add an asset](https://docs.relyant.app/facilities/assets/add-an-asset.md). Your administrator sets booking rules, such as allowed days and hours, approval, and buffer times, in [asset booking settings](https://docs.relyant.app/facilities/settings/asset-booking-settings.md).

## Booking statuses

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Submitted** | The booking is waiting for approval. |
| **Approved** | The booking is confirmed and the asset is reserved. |
| **Rejected** | An approver turned down the booking. The rejection reason shows on the booking. |
| **Cancelled** | The booking was cancelled. |

Approved bookings also have a progress state, which you can filter by with **Progress**: **Scheduled** (not started), **In Progress** (happening now), or **Completed** (ended).

## Find bookings

Use the tabs at the top of the page to choose whose bookings you see:

| Tab | Shows |
| - | - |
| **All Bookings** | Every asset booking you can see. |
| **Created by Me** | Bookings you requested. |
| **Assigned to Me** | Bookings where you're one of the assignees. |

Requesters don't see **All Bookings**. Their list opens on **Created by Me**.

Switch between the **List** and **Board** views. Search by reference number, or filter by **Status**, **Progress**, **Booking Date**, and **Requested Date**.

To share a read-only view of your bookings with people outside Relyant, click **Share**. See [Shared booking calendars](https://docs.relyant.app/integrations/calendar-feeds.md).

## Who can do what

These are the default permissions for each role.

| Role | Permissions |
| - | - |

| **Member** | Create and view bookings. Edit their own bookings while they're **Submitted**. Cancel their own bookings. |
