Adding Equipment to MERCI

After enabling MERCI you must create content types for the equipment that will be managed. MERCI extends the core content type settings with additional settings.  Depending on the modules you have installed, you will find MERCI's settings with Location, Organic Groups, Fivestar, Workflow, and others under the content type description.

Clicking on MERCI expends all of MERCI's options.

Reservable item type allows users to define a content type as a Bucket or a Resource.  This is an important decision because it cannot be changed once nodes have been added to the content type.  If you are having trouble determining whether something should be a Resource or a Bucket, please refer to the Resource or Bucket section of the documentation.

For checkout MERCI allows equipment to be configured 3 ways on the content type using Automatic Checkout, Automatic Checkin and/or Self Checkout.

If none of these items are checked, the default "initial status" is used for the item when a reservation is first created.

If the Reservation is set to Unconfirmed, staff will need to review those Reservations and confirm them. Unconfirmed reservations still prevent other users from making a conflicting Reservation.
