Resources
Resources are items that may be checked in and out of your Center(s) and lent to students or staff. The borrowing of resources at your center(s) can be tracked, recorded, and the data collected can be displayed through Reports. Resources can be utilized in many ways, but common examples include Laptops, Calculators, or Books that users can reserve, checkout, and return.
To begin creating a resource, go to Other > Resources > Resources > Hamburger menu > New Resource. Custom fields can also be added to this page.
- BarCode is the unique identifier for this item. Can be used to log resources in and out via a barcode scanner or swipe system, in addition to manually entering the value.
- Title is the name of this resource.
- Profile is the linked Profile for this resource.
- Checked Out To shows which user currently has this item checked out (if applicable).
- Collateral will store the collateral item collected due to the option below being enabled. This should be left blank when creating a new resource, as it will be automatically filled in when the item is checked out and collateral is collected.
- Collateral Logic enables Collateral functionality if checked. This will ask the staff member logging the resource in/out whether or not collateral has been gathered/returned.
- Reserved For shows who currently has this resource reserved.
- Always Available indicates that this resource doesn't need to be individually checked out or reserved, multiple users can check out the same resource at any time.
- Reserved Date, Last Date Out, and Due Date display the exact times of reservations, checkouts, and when the resource is due to be returned.
- Resource Type allows you to categorize this resource into a type for reporting purposes, or to restrict certain students from accessing this resource.
- Length of Checkout determines how long an item can be checked out for before an overdue notification is sent. Enter a number of days from checkout, or choose "Due by end of semester" to base it on your current semester end date. If the latter option is chosen, a new field will appear to add a buffer before the end of the semester (i.e., to require the item be returned X days before semester end.)
- Max Renewals Allowed determines how many times a checkout can be renewed.
- Not Available to Students / Staff allows you to restrict this resource to one user type or the other. By default (both unchecked), the item is available to either user type.
- Description is an internal description of this particular resource.
- Keywords are the related words for this resource, delimited by commas or semicolons. For example, if you have a Laptop as an available resource, you may want to create keywords like "Computer, PC, Macbook" to make this resource easier to search for.
Resource Types can be used to group resources together for the purpose of reporting or to block certain students from accessing certain resources. These can be managed by going to Other > Resources > Resource Types. Click the hamburger menu > New Resource Type to begin creating a new type.
After creating a new resource type or clicking on an existing one, you will find the following options.
- Resource Type Name
- The type/category for your resources.
- The type/category for your resources.
- Resource Type Description
- Information about this resource type.
- Information about this resource type.
- Linked to Profile
- Allows you to link this Resource Type for use in a specific profile.
- Allows you to link this Resource Type for use in a specific profile.
- Allowed Student List
- Allows you to only allow students on this list to checkout this resource, blocking everyone else. If left blank, anyone can checkout this resource (assuming they aren't blocked from resource usage entirely).
- Allows you to only allow students on this list to checkout this resource, blocking everyone else. If left blank, anyone can checkout this resource (assuming they aren't blocked from resource usage entirely).
- Display Notice and Require Initials when Checking Out Resources of this Type
- If enabled, a prompt will appear during checkout requiring that the user agree to terms and conditions before continuing. Terms can be entered in the Logout Notice to Student field (Twig supported), and a copy of the terms can be automatically forwarded to the student by checking Send Terms and Conditions as Email to Recipient.
There are a couple settings of note within your permission group(s) relating to Resources.
Other > Other Options > Groups > [Your Group] > Log In/Out
- Allow user to log resources in and out provides users in this group the ability to record resource usage.
- Allow user to view what resource the student has logged out provides users in this group the ability to view a student's currently logged out item.
Other > Other Options > Groups > [Your Group] > Admin/Modules
- Table Access provides access to the Other > Resources view of resources. You can also assign Resource Types here to allow this group to view and edit these as well.
After creating your resource and updating your groups, you're ready to start checking out resources. This option can be found by going to Other > Log Resource.
You will then be brought to the following screen with two text entry areas available. The first is where you select a resource (searching by Barcode, Title, or Keywords), the second allows you to select a student or staff member. Once one or both fields are selected, additional options become available to check out, return, or reserve this item.
In the event that Collateral Logic is being utilized, more options will be available in regards to collecting/returning the collateral item.
Resource emails can be customized to inform students of the due date of their checked-out resource, or if the resource is overdue. These options are part of your profile preferences, in Other > Other Options > Profiles > [Your Profile] > Prefs > Emails > Resource Checkout Emails.
Similar to your other Profile Emails, you can write a subject line and body of your email, an additional SMS text, and choose when this email is sent. Unique to resource emails is Send additional overdue emails daily, which will resend the overdue notice for each day the item is still checked out.
There are two resource reports available in TracCloud. These can be found by going to Reports > Management > Resources. Resources provides information on resource utilization, while Resources Listing provides information on the items themselves.

- When an appointment/availability is designated as Online, you’re provided the option of choosing a URL for the appointment to take place in. This would typically be the consultant’s assigned static link (found in their profile), but you can also have a few preset options as defined in this field.

Start time minutes affects your initial click (before you start dragging the time slot), while Duration minutes affects the length of the block that you create. This can always be overridden within the availability options.

2022-03-08 | Locking Group Rosters
You can now lock Group Rosters / Availabilities as a Staff member to prevent students from booking further sessions, even if slots are available. For example, if you want to reserve the last time slot for a specific student until they're able to confirm, or if you want to prevent other students from booking this time to provide more attention to a single student.
This option is available within your Group Roster window as a lock icon at the top, click to toggle on or off.
