# How to create a booking request?

## 1. Create a new request

Switch to the *Resources* module and either click directly on a *table field* in the resource booking schedule for the desired date, or click *"+ Create new request*" in the menu on the left.

## 2. Fill in information

In the " *Create Booking Request* " window, fill in all the required information.

1. First, select the *resource* and enter a *title* and, if you'd like, a *subtitle* for your request.
2. If you create a request for a *full-day appointment*, the time selection option disappears after you check the box.
3. Select the *date* and, if necessary, enter the desired start and end *times*for your resource reservation.
4. For a recurring appointment, you can set the frequency and duration of your appointment series under
   "*Repeats* (5)."
5. The *request status* lets you know whether your booking has been *confirmed* immediately or *is pending confirmation by a manager*.
6. Under "Description," you can enter a short text.
7. If you're performing a transaction for someone else, search for their name here and enter it. If the person isn't saved in your ChurchTools, you can add them directly if you have the necessary permissions.
8. Clicking "Save" completes your resource reservation.

**Note**

If a calendar entry is required for the selected resource, you must perform a transaction to book the resource directly through the *Calendar* module in [conjunction with an appointment](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/churchtools-modules/adding-appointments/how-do-i-create-an-appointment-including-resource-booking-and-event/).

## 3. Delete a booking request

If there are any changes to your resource request, or if you no longer need the resource, you can access your request through the booking schedule and edit or delete it.
