## Steps

1. **Open the providers list.** In the sidebar, choose **Bookings**, then **Providers**, and press “Add Provider” above the list. [Details](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-resources#adv-row-actions)

2. **Enter the name and type.** Enter the **Name** and choose the **Type**: person, space or equipment. Keep **Capacity** at 1 for one-to-one appointments, and pick the **Branch** if the resource belongs to a [branch](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-branch).

3. **Link a user if needed.** In **Linked user**, pick the employee who delivers the service, so they see only their own bookings. Leave it on “Not linked” if the resource has no user. [Details](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-resources#adv-linked-user)

4. **Set the working hours.** Under **Working hours**, press **Add shift** for each day the resource works and set the start and end. **Copy to all days** repeats a finished day across the week. [Details](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-resources#adv-hours)

5. **Add a public profile if you like.** In **Public profile**, enter the **Title / specialty** and a **Short bio**, and add a **Photo**. Visitors see them only if the [booking page](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/bookings-settings) lists providers first. [Details](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-resources#adv-public)

6. **Save the resource.** Press **Save**. The form stays open after creating so you can finish setup; then go back to the list and link it to a [service](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-offerings).

## Messages that block saving

| Message | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| This Provider has no working hours, so it can never be booked. Add hours below, or save again to keep it as is. | No shift was added under **Working hours**. | Add at least one shift with **Add shift** and save, or press **Save** again to keep it without hours. |
| Start time must be before end time | In one shift the end time comes before the start time. | Correct the start and end times of that shift. |

## Advanced details

### Capacity: how many people per slot

**Capacity** is how many people can share one slot on this resource. For group classes, the seats come from **Seats per class** on the service, capped at this **Capacity**.

Class setup is in [add a bookable service](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-offerings).

### Linking a resource to a user

When linked, that user sees only this resource's bookings. Administrators can't be linked, and one user can't be linked to more than one resource.

Create the user first in [add a user](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-user) if they don't exist yet.

### Resource hours and branch hours

A resource is [bookable](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/create-booking) only inside the overlap of its own hours and its branch's. To set a branch's hours once, press **Branch opening hours** above the list.

Choose the branch, set its shifts for each day, then **Save**. A branch with no hours adds no restriction, but the moment you add the first shift it counts as closed outside those hours.

Branches themselves are added in [add a branch](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/add-branch).

### Showing a resource on the public booking page

The public profile is shown to visitors only when the public page lists practitioners first. **Display order** sets where the resource sits among the others.

Turn off **Show on the public page** to hide it from visitors. The page itself is set up in [set booking settings](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/bookings-settings).

### Resource row actions

Click the row to edit the resource. The row menu has **Working hours** (opens the form at the hours), **Calendar link (iCal)**, **Edit** and **Delete**.

**Calendar link (iCal)** copies a secret link you add to a phone calendar, so [appointments](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/bookings-front-desk) show up and refresh on their own. Share it only with the schedule's owner.

## Common questions

### How do I add a provider in the bookings software?

Open **Bookings**, then **Providers**, and press “Add Provider”. Enter the name, choose the type, set the working hours, then press **Save**.

### Why are no bookable times showing?

A resource with no working hours can't be booked, and a service with no provider shows no times. Add **Working hours** here, and select the provider on the [service](https://www.snad.io/en/guide/booking-offerings).

### Can I add a room or a machine instead of a person?

Yes. Under **Type**, choose space or equipment instead of person.

### How do I make an employee see only their own bookings?

Link their resource to their account in **Linked user**. They then see only that resource's bookings.

### Do I have to repeat the hours for every day?

No. Finish one day, press **Copy to all days**, then change whatever differs.
